Methods for Handgun storage outdoors? Advice wanted.

[CPM]

Your gun should be on your hip at all times- especially since you described your area as rural.

No other motives. Just a simple request for ideas to keep a working pistol in decent shape.


I keep a gun with me to take care of nuisance animals like hogs, coyotes, venomous snakes, etc. thus a .44 special revolver is the right tool, that's what I'm using. Very pleased with my GP100 .44Special's accuracy.

Pistol case is next to the axe, tool bag, first aid kit, etc in the UTV front access hatch. It's always there, handy when needed.

Concerns are minimal for personal self defense while working, I'm rather isolated, especially in the back pastures. Occasionally see a neighbor back there if he wants to talk.

I got some great practical advice, thanks folks. Got the small Pelican case ordered. Will still keep pistol rubbed with light film of preservative oil.

Respectfully,
RFA

I think this is what you want - http://amzn.to/2mNYBAP

ZCORR Anti Corrosion Velcro Pistol Bags have a velcro seal and have anti corrosion liner that stops rust. You could roll it up when not in use. They are great for long term storage but I think it would work for your requirements.

Great Grandpa kept Winchesters and Colts hanging from a peg in the barn and the line shacks long before stainless steel was invented. Keep that GP-100 lubed with gun oil or Mobil 1 and dessicant packs in that Pelican case. You'll need to perform cleaning and oiling on a regular basis and a little more often than usual to chase out the dust bunnies and keep it functioning 100%

Since you went pelican case, toss the open cell foam I am sure it is going to come with and order the closed cell. Closed cell has less of a chance to retain moisture. I have a pelican case and really like it.
