I'm partial to the revolver myself. I would recommend a Taurus .357. I find mine reliable and very accurate. Back it up with a Remington 3 shot pump shotgun with a load of .00 buckshot and you have an inexpensive but more than adequate home arsenal. By the way, take the barrel down on that shotgun, and the stock as well.

Keep both weapons clean and oiled in that climate. Use them as often as possible. Two reasons: first, you need the practice, second, a tool used is a better tool. Then clean and oil after use.

Cleaned and oiled isn't a problem ... practice on dry land is an issue .... I like the grip on the Taurus ... a pump would be my next question
