Jake - one thing to consider - guns in FL are subjected to a LOT of humidity, rain, etc......which, if the shooter didn't do his part, will lead to rust, pitting, etc. as you have found. Look more towards the interior parts of the state, Orlando, Ocala, Gainesville......or look to get a gun from somewhere a little more arid.
Mine, (a 28, is not for sale), gets wiped it down a lot to keep it running good and eliminate those problems you mentioned. The local gun shops around here are not exactly on the cheaper end of the average prices, unfortunately
