davsco Posted December 24, 2016 Share Posted December 24, 2016 my competition handguns stay in their midwayusa soft pistol cases in my humidity-controlled safe, with the mags in the side pockets. easier keeping gun and mags together vs gun in one place and mags in the other, and way too easy, at least for me, to mix up different caliber mags.

rustybayonet Posted January 4, 2017 Share Posted January 4, 2017 I have a few safes in the house, so if it's not on my hip, it goes in a safe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fireman1776 Posted January 4, 2017 Share Posted January 4, 2017 Would there be any benefit to keeping those moisture absorbing packets in your rangebag and/or safe to keep your guns in a dryer environment? Or is it just as easy to just clean and lube and store them?Absolutely. Because of limited space, the only place I can store my guns is in the master bathroom closet. I just have a regular metal gun cabinet, not safe, and keep 3 dehumidifiers in there. They are the reusable ones. I have not had any rust problems and that's a pretty humid environment.

mksm2016 Posted January 4, 2017 Share Posted January 4, 2017 I bought one of those too but I may switch to an electric dehumidifier. These things do work as I have one of those disposable ones where you put the crystal in a bucket. I checked on it after a month (Garage), I do see some water in it.

mveto Posted January 8, 2017 Share Posted January 8, 2017 Mine always go into the safe, I prefer not to keep them in the bags with all the powder residue and dirt that gets picked up while out at the range. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would definitely not have a bumper sticker that implies I might have any. They would be in a safe that is out of sight, so that you have to look for it to find it. There would be a couple of Rottweilers and a jumpy sheepdog in the house. In the safe, they would quite likely be in bags or rugs. If stuff is wet when I get home from the range, I would make sure that only dry items go into the safe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

akeefer Posted January 9, 2017 Share Posted January 9, 2017 If you don't have a safe, would it hurt to keep them in the Pelican case with the gel beads?? I assume only issue would be moisture. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jbo723 Posted January 16, 2017 Share Posted January 16, 2017 I unpack just the guns after a match or range session and into the safe they go every time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bsand Posted January 16, 2017 Share Posted January 16, 2017 In the safe if it's weeks between matches, in the carrying case If it's days between matches (uspsa, bowling pin and steel challenge). Back before I got a competition gun, id use my carry gun which well stayed on my person or night table. Sent from my Pixel using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yellowfin Posted January 23, 2017 Share Posted January 23, 2017 Most guns stay in the main safe, carry guns in smaller safe with one out for HD at a time which is what I'm carrying that day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnnyD Posted January 25, 2017 Share Posted January 25, 2017 Mine stay in safe. The only thing I may do is load up my range bag the night before a match so I don't have a half asleep moment and forget my gun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edge40 Posted January 27, 2017 Share Posted January 27, 2017 Race guns go in the safe for a few reasons. I find that keeping things bagged up where they cant breath isn't usually good for them. I also think they are more protected from getting banged up in the safe. I'm never going to use them for self defense so if I'm not shooting, transporting or working on them they go in the safe.

pskys2 Posted January 28, 2017 Share Posted January 28, 2017 The important thing is to not leave them in an uncontrolled temp/humidity environment. If you have a safe in a garage that's not supplied by an hvac system or a dessicant drying system, you can get rust even on stainless steel (stainless is rust resistant not rust proof). Kept in the house it becomes more an issue of safety. Though I don't like to leave them in a closed gun rug just to be safe. But I've got a s&w m28 that's been in a gun rug in the trunk of my car for 6 months in an unheated garage and am not seeing any issues, ditto for the ruger blackhawk in a tool box in my truck. Though I think I'll revisit the issue with them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cas Posted January 28, 2017 Share Posted January 28, 2017 I just keep them around the house like any other gun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
