I second the stainless steel revolver recommendation, maybe a Colt Python in
.357 magnum. 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. 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.

Good luck.

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.
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? 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? 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. I thinking an XD-M elite polymer hand
gun. With mostly composite parts. Similar to a Glock. (Note,
I don't have anything against Glock, I just never owned one. 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. 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. </span>
<br>
<span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: sans-serif;"><br> Thanks in
advance.</span>
