Can anyone recommend a .45 pistol that is somewhat saltwater friendly that won't break the bank in case something did happen to it? It will be kept in a holster mounted in the console. If you have any other suggestions or advice, please share. Thanks |

If you're set on 45 get anything and get it Robar NP3 coated.
I keep a Sig Sauer P226 Navy (9mm) on my boat, it's also my CCW. The MK25/Navy with the anchors on them are phosphor coated for the salt water environment. I've had mine on my boat for a couple years now with no rust whatsoever. |

Thanks for all the help. I've been using a s&w 6906 with no issues, but thought I might want to go up to .45 because I sometimes go in the caloosahatchee where I've seen quite a few gators. I'm not sure if 9mm would be ideal in case of some kind of attack. The Sig navy or pm9 would be awesome but a little out of my budget. I've been eyeing a used XDM with stainless slide and was leaning that way if I could get it cheap enough. Is there really a big difference in the corrosion resistance between Ruger, S&W, Glock, Springfield, etc.? What do you guys carry? |

Quoted: This. Glocks are really resistant to corrosion too. Any gun that you hit with Corrosion Block Quoted: Quoted: glock. cheap, reliable, everyone is a glock armorer. This. Glocks are really resistant to corrosion too. Any gun that you hit with Corrosion Block That is a good idea. I never thought of using Corrosion Block. Thanks

I would say forget the 45 and get a Taurus stainless steel revolver used under $400 is not hard. 357 mag or 44 mag are both great sd calibers, 38 can dispatch most critters, and shot shells for nuisance birds.
