I'm a revolver fan and have multiple examples of them but, as much as I hate to say it, you are better off with a plastic fantastic semi-auto than repeatedly disassembling a revolver to clean out the water on a regular basis regardless of make.
If you get a popular make such as Glock or S&W M&P, replacement parts are easy to obtain and cheap if damaged. Working on a Glock or Smith M&P (dunno about the new line of Sigs) is easy peasy and field disassembly is a snap. With open interiors, you can basically hose the remaining working parts down if need be.
If you do have to detail strip a revolver, you need a good mechanical sense and tools to do it right and sometimes you have to fit replacement parts to that individual revolver with some parts are not readily sold by the mfgs due to mischief by buyers such as cylinders and the like. Field stripping the GP100 is about the easiest of revolvers but it is a PITA if you have to detail strip one and special tools make it a lot easier.
You can do the same with a Glock or similar design with basically a Glock specific pin punch (available multiple places) and some sort of hammer.
In former days, you would suffer quite a bit on reliability and/or accuracy but most modern design semi-autos now have rough equivalence in accuracy and superior durability in rough use, much as it pains me to say.
Now, flame away, I know that I am expressing a heresy on a revolver thread.
