dgp42,

There are a number of good products on the market to do what you want. One of my favorites is an oil called "Clenzoil", another is "Break-Free CLP". Both are excellent products which will protect the metal.

For pistols which I don't handle that much, I use a product called RIG (Rust Inhibiting Grease). This product is a light grease which is excellent for long term storage. RIG also makes a pad which has the grease already on the surface, and can be replenished from a jar. The lambswool pad does a good job of getting the grease where you want it and into small areas. Most pistols which are displayed like yours will require a wipe-down just to remove the dust. It is amazing how dust will get on the pistols. My pistols are stored in a large vault on pegs and dust still gets on them. I usually wipe them about every 6 months with RIG. For my pistols I handle often, I use the Clenzoil.

If you ever want to store the pistols in a safe, etc., the best way is to coat them with RIG and place in a gunsack called "Bore-Store". This combination will certainly keep them from rusting. If yu are close to the coast, keep a close eye on them as the salt air can cause havoc very quickly.
