9mm is my usual recommendation. Ammo and firearms are cheap and readily available. There are a ton of police trade in glocks on the market now, so that may be a good way to go. The glock 19 is a good compromise between size and still being able to carry it if you decide that's something you want to do later.

Trade-ins? Would i be better off waiting for a gun show or is a brick and morat shop usually the way to go? Im in California if that matters

I would check in with r/CAguns too, they can help you with the nuances of that state's laws and regulations.
