Pump shotgun with buckshot for home defense. Familiarize yourselves with operation of weapon and try it a few times. Handguns tend to require more practice to attain proficiency. A shotgun may seem cumbersome, but if needed, I think you may be better served in the end due to simple operation and terrific short-range firepower. If for home defense, put a bright ass light on it if you want. It may be useful if you wake up at 3:00am from a slumber. Good for target I.D., and what ever is in the light dies if it is not friendly.
Otherwise a good revolver is user friendly and reliable. Many can be very compact and handy also.
But again, try everything you may feel tempted to buy. Between all of us, an example of almost anything you can think of can be had to try before you buy. If you only buy one, make sure you like it, not because someone else said to like it.

In your case I would have to agree with maybe a revolver for you. Its small light weight and easy maintenace...... Not like a Semi Auto is hard to clean. How ever for the way they shoot you would have to ask someone else because I have never shot one.
You'd be suprised I bet with the girlfriend thing. Like I said, mine had never touched nor wanted to even be around a gun. Go read the topic I started about a "fun" sunday. I show what the girlfriend did with the little .22LR pistol.
And I'd recommend the smaller caliper especially so the girlfriend can get used to the sound of how loud certain things can be. Mine was scared off by the sound of the 9mm. Recoil was fine, but the sound scared her. That's something that you have to work on with her. Cause you don't want her freaking out at the sound in a small house w/ echoing if she ever had to use it.

another choice would be a rifle with a bayonet, even if you run out of ammo you can still do a bayonet charge
But in all seriousness a .357 revolver does sound like it would probably be your best bet, and with the .38 special wadcutters for practice, there is almost no recoil so it'll be easy to learn with.

I love the feel of .357 mags. It's a different kind of recoil.
that .45 long colt,you would love it with the hot rod rounds
