If you simply cannot tolerate the very good idea of a shotgun, try a medium frame revolver. Revolvers tend to be easier to learn manual of arms on and easier to maintain. They also tend to have a bit more mass, so they eat up felt recoil better.
If you have a range withrental guns, go and try a few. Even better is if you have friends that shoot. Try out a number of different things until you find what is comfortable. Once you reach a comfort point with firearms in general, then worry more about specific guns.
If I had to limit myself to one gun only, it would be a .357 magnum revolver with a 4" barrel. If you are worried about overpenetration, you can use .38 special in it. If you need more range, you can load it with full-on .357 magnums. A 4" barrel is a good compromise between length for accuracy, and handiness.
