I like that the first two replies are from pacifists.
The Five-Seven (or Five-seveN, if you prefer) looks impressive on paper but in real life it kind of sucks.
I'd suggest something 9mm or .40 S&W. Realistically, you're unlikely to face any threats within your own home that either of those won't be able to put down, and it's less of a bang than some of the bigger guns.
I'll leave recommendations of specific models to those who are better versed in such things, but I will point out that for reliability purposes a revolver beats a semi-auto every time.
