All of the above is true.... but either/both of the 9mm or .45 is
going to go through drywall... So that doesn't give the nod to
9mm based solely on that criteria.
I do agree that 9mm is probably the better choice in this case,
due to the "first firearm" in the subject line.

Probably true, but hard to say without more info/details on the
environment the person is in, and experience levels, etc...
... If it walks out of your refrigerator, let it go.
