Shop around and buy the "best" gun you can afford. The brand name is not so important than is the type. Small-ish revolvers are safe, easy to use, virtually indestructible and a .38 special will mitigate just about any threat. Ammo is relatively cheap and plentiful. Semi-autos are for more advanced shooters.
My S&W Model 60 requires no disassembly to clean. Mine is a 1965 stainless, five round cylinder and takes non+P only as recommended by S&W. That is my BUG and is good for a knife fight shooter. It is my carry gun when I am forced, by my better half, to dress for church and other "Sunday Go To Meetin" dress up events.
YMMV
