I've lightly oiled mine with Hoppe's #9, put it into a Cabela's gun sock and stored it in a Pelican case (gift from my wife last Christmas) in which I've cut the foam insert out to fit the Luger and a "rechargeable" dessicant pack. Every couple of months, I open the case, pull the gun out of the sock to stare at it for a minute and pop the dessicant into the oven for a bit to dry out the dessicant.

This thing is sure to age better than me!

Default Racks

I store all of my handguns in these racks in my safe. The racks are vinyl coated.Believe you can buy them at most gun shows. Of course I lightly coat all of them with Breakfree and never have a rust issue.

My only concern with the dessicant pack is they are designed to attract moisture. Not sure I want to draw moisture into the safe. Not sure if this is acurate reasoning or not. Just my thoughts.
