Proper storage for Lugers

Bob,

My first choice would be a safe, my second an air-tight gun case, such as a pelican, with desicant packets arranged therein so as not to come into contact with the weapon.

The gun should be lightly oiled with a quality oil, such as Break Free CLP, with care taken to avoid oil contacting wood.

My last choice would be any soft case. All of my soft cases (which I use to transport to and from the range when a hard case is not available), are of a high quality, slick, nylon-type lined with plastic zippers.

No matter what the enclosure, for long term storage, all are lightly oiled. After every handling, they are wiped free of prints before returning to storage.
