First shooting a handgun well is difficult, and it will take practice. .22LR is not as cheap as it was and can be difficult to find, but it makes for economical practice. I wanted to shoot offhand at 25 yards, and it took me literally thousands of rounds to be shooting 6 shot groups under 4" consistently. When I started it was difficult to keep 6 on the paper at 25 yards. Decide revolver or auto, and then get a used Ruger MK II or a Single Six, a pile of .22 and teach yourself to shoot. Likely the difference in the cost of ammo will pay for the firearm.
Second, if you go the revolver route, shooting a short barreled revolver is difficult, especially double-action. Again, plan on lots of practice.
Third, you need to choose a firearm small enough that it is comfortable to carry (if you aren't comfortable carrying it, you won't have it when you need it), and one that is large enough to practice with. Beyond learning to shoot, you need to be safe, comfortable and proficient with your carry piece, and that comes with repeated and consistent practice.
