Buying the pistol is the cheapest part... feeding it will cost far more.
I'd pass on the tok as a first pistol. Yes, they're cheap, and though the surplus ammo is a little more now, it's still fairly inexpensive. As others have stated, it is feast or famine with surplus availability, and the most recent batch was almost twice as expensive as the last. Usually a dire harbinger...
I don't recommend it as they're hard to shoot well. They are a crude design, have poor sights, and even the best triggers leave much to be desired.
.45 and .357 are pricey unless you reload. I say 9mm is the way to go.
If you've big hands a Sig, Beretta, or Girsan (quality Beretta clone) will probably fill the bill.
