As has been said, if he is gonna go with a .22 or .25 make sure he gets a good one Browning Buckmark or a Ruger MKII. Both are proven designs and when used with CCI stingers will provide the best results.
Someones Tag Line once said "a .22 to the head from across the street will surely ruin your day more than a miss from a .45" Take him to the range and rent some guns to see what he likes best. I would recommend a Ruger LCP for him. That is my bare minimum and I can even wear it with running shorts, it weighs nothing so it goes everywhere with me! Better to have it and not need it than to need it and not have it.
