[Shop-talk] Keeping a gun safe in a gun safe (and definately not 2nd amendment stuff)

[Mike Rambour]

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 “golden rod” put that In your safe and be done with it.  If you are going with a desktop type safe then just get some desiccant
