+1 on .22 for starters - low recoil facilitates learning of basics, cheap ammo.
+1 on adjustable sights unless it is for CC.
+1 on 1911 9mm - cheapest centerfire ammo, ammo/pistol combo gives mild recoil, great 1911 ergonomics.
==========
I agree with Countzero, +1 on thumb safety like 1911 or no thumb safety. Slide mounted thumb safety feels awkward to me. I guess it is a matter of getting used to.
