Rhodium really has one industrial purpose - protection of equipment in highly corrosive environments. Unless you plan on taking your pistol around highly corrosive chemicals, it's completely worthless.

A tiny coating is also used on silver jewelry to prevent tarnishing - a form of corrosion. It is easily removed by mild buffing.

I would agree that hard chrome is far superior for guns.
