Any gun should work in that environment. I would look at a stainless something
and wipe it down once a month. A blued gun maybe a little more often.
Remember polymer guns still have metal slides so not much of a difference when
it comes to rust control. You still have to wipe the slide every so often.
Personally I would get a â??golden rodâ?? put that In your safe and be done
with it. If you are going with a desktop type safe then just get some
desiccant
