My recommendation would be a Glock 23 in .40 caliber. It is small enough for easy concealability although I sometimes carry the Glock 22 (also in .40 caliber). Either of these is much lighter than ANY steel gun, a characteristic you will appreciate after carrying it all day. Further, Glock reliability is beyond question. It will ALWAYS shoot when you need it to. And it is completely safe to carry loaded (including one in the pipe). To fire, just pull the trigger. There are no safeties nor anything else to mess around with. Just pull the trigger. Maybe you won't be able to make a 25 yard head shot with it, but you probably won't be able to do that with any other handgun either. And have you ever been in a situation where you need to make such a shot?
Not likely.
Now about maintenance. The Glock is just about the easiest gun in the world to take down to the piece part level with nothing more than a simple straight punch that you can make out of a coat hanger. Glocks are almost indestructable.
I've put a lot of rounds through my Glocks and they run today just as they did when they were brand new.
