I'm still holding out the thought of a revolver over an automatic for ease of maintenance in the subtropics

Find yourself a good used .357 revolver. Put the money you save over the semi-auto vundergun into ammo and range time.

Since you're in the sub-tropics, I'd recommend a stainless steel model. That doesn't mean it will never rust, just that it won't rust as badly as quickly as blued steel will.

Just my two cents. YMMV.

cost wasn't a first issue ... what do you think of plating over Stainless?
