   I second the stainless steel revolver recommendation, maybe a Colt Python in 
.357 magnum.&nbsp; I'd be concerned that a semi-auto would be more sensitive to 
that kind of environment, but either way it should not be too 
challenging.&nbsp; Desiccant packs are going to be critical, especially to 
protect the ammo as the gun itself should be OK with a light coat of oil.

    I'd recommend a stainless double-action revolver, attached to your person 
in a holster designed to make it impossible for the cylinder to revolve until 
the weapon is removed from the holster.

     <span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: sans-serif;">Ok, I know I've 
asked some weird questions before, but I think this one will take the 
cake.</span> 
     <br> 
     <br> 
     <span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: sans-serif;">I live out in the 
country, and often work well into the night with a large shop door open.&nbsp; 
With having bears, coyotes and other large animals in the area, I got to 
thinking, it might be a good idea to keep a pistol in the garage to scare off 
any would be 'late night snackers."</span> 
     <br> 
     <span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: sans-serif;">Actually, I had a 
run-in the other night that made me think about this.</span> 
     <br> 
     <br> 
     <span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: sans-serif;">So my question is, 
if I have a pistol, in a rapid access safe in a shop environment, what factors 
should I consider?&nbsp; I understand that humidity will play a huge role, as 
will dust (I have to see how 'sealed' the safe is.)</span> 
     <br> 
     <br> 
     <span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: sans-serif;">Is there anything 
I'm missing that I should consider?&nbsp; I understand that I will most likely 
have to clean the weapon often, but is there anything I need to think 
about?</span> 
     <br> 
     <br> 
     <span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: sans-serif;">Also, I'm open to 
suggestions for a weapon type.&nbsp; I thinking an XD-M elite polymer hand 
gun.&nbsp; With mostly composite parts.&nbsp; Similar to a Glock. &nbsp;(Note, 
I don't have anything against Glock, I just never owned one. &nbsp;I do have 
and love my XD however, so Glock isn't out of consideration.)</span> 
     <br> 
     <br> 
     <span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: sans-serif;">I don't want this 
to turn into a 2nd amendment thread.&nbsp; Just a 'what to consider' for 
leaving a pistol in a shop.</span> 
     <br> 
     <br> 
     <span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: sans-serif;">Note, in my shop I 
do just about everything, metal work, wood work, car and heavy equipment work, 
etc. &nbsp;</span> 
     <br> 
     <span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: sans-serif;"><br> Thanks in 
advance.</span>
