Get something that fits your hand well and has decent capacity. Do not buy a snub nose revolver ( 1”-7/8 to 2” - 1/2) .. If you buy a revolver, get a 4 inch barreled gun. Easier to shoot , far more accurate, and you could still carry it. No smaller than three inch.Whatever you do , don’t buy something to small for your first pistol. You could pick up a new Canik TP 9 in that price range although I don’t trust my life to Canik. Save another 100 bucks and buy a new Glock 19 or a Sig 320 , or a Beretta Apex , Smith and Wesson M&P ,there are a ton of 9mm handguns in the 3-1/2 inch to 4 inch range new for 500 bucks.
