FN Five-seveN USG, Dark Earth, Adjustable Sights, 20RD

The FN Five-seveN® single-action autoloading pistol fires the low-recoil 5.7x28mm cartridge making it ideal for personal protection, target shooting or NRA Tactical Police Competition. It features a textured, ergonomic polymer frame with checkered panels for enhanced grip.

Accurate out to about 100 years so yes, you could hunt with it.
It is a pistol that fires a small rifle shell
It is powerful, and nice and pointy, so not much is going to stop it.
20 rounds in each standard clip
Light ammo so you can haul a shit load of it.
Low recoil for easy target reaquisition after each shot fired.

The only down fall.
1. cost at almost 1100 dollars, but what is your life worth.
2. ammo is hard to get, so you would need to stock up, and forget about scavenging for it later.

I have trained with them for my whole life. The reality is... In a pinch, I have my favorites.

Buy a double action revolver. A .38 special. There are no safties to forget to click off, no slides to forget to rack. You pull the trigger and it goes bang, every time. No jams, no surprise discharges that take your kids' head off, far fewer accidents.

Revolvers are much easier, safer and more reliable for a beginner such as yourself.

For all you new gun people. This is the first three guns you should by in order.
12 gauge pump. Excellent at home protection and hunting. Easy to shoot and hit what your shooting at with little to no training.

Next is the ruger 10/22. There cheap and so is the ammo. You can stockpile thousands of rounds in a shoebox. Excellent home defense and hunting. Every American should own one.

Then after your accustom to shooting you can pick up a nice handgun. There are hundreds to choose from in many sizes and shapes.

a good shotgun will do the trick. Single shots range from $100 to $200 Double barrel not much more.

If you want pump action lever action or semi auto youre lookin at 300+

A good beginners handgun imo is a 38 revolver, but you can jump right into glock territory with all these you tube tutorials out here, if youre willing to do your homework, if thats too much kick for you, a 22

As far as rifles are concerned, a mosin nagant m91/30 will run you about 100 bucks, its 3 screws to disassemble and its almost bullet proof as far as handling is concerned. A great first rifle if you know absolutely nothing about firearms.. Its a little cumbersome in length but its not that heavy and it will drop a mule at 200 yrds easy.. if you get surplus ammo youre gonna want to juice your barrel after use.

in general, the person behind the weapon is more important than the type of rifle, shotgun, pistol, samaria sword, etc..

having a good quality firearm and knowing how and when to use it is what counts.

for home defense it's hard to beat a handgun that can be kept on the night stand for fast access and the small size makes it easier to handle indoors.

the Springfield XDm 9mm would make a fine house or truck gun. for concealed carry a Kahr PM9 with night sights would be a solid choice.

12 gauge shotgun for him, 20 gage for the misses. Ammo is cheap and plentful and very few moving parts and easy to clean. Point and shoot .

Home defense and hunting...but you will also need a good medium caliber handgun, .22 rifle and a good shotgun of your choosing...I would go .223/5.56 and/or 7.62 x 39 due to cheap and easy to aquire ammo for your rifles.
