Blued Revolvers: How do you store them?

CajunBass,
Thanks for the advice. I think eventually here I will give the Renaissance wax a try.
Driftwood Johnson,
Glad to hear you've got yourself a new storage plan! I hope the socks fit well. And now you'll have a good number of extra all purpose rags laying around!
I think I'll stick with the silicone treated gun socks because I like that they fit more loosely than a regular foot sock and they have draw strings. Also because of the whole silicone thing. But I would assume regular socks will work just fine for ya.
Model12Win,
I'll have to check the RIG grease out. Any particular reason you use it over other greases or methods?

Just thought I'd pass on to you all a new to me Gun Sock that is apparently the BEST.
Sack-Ups
Check them out.
They are not much more expensive than all the made in China ones I see everywhere. They are made in the USA. They also claim to have the BEST protection of all available gun socks.
There are some video testimonials of people on their website stating that they had guns in Sack-Ups along side other types of gun socks, and those guns were exposed to extreme moisture, smoke from a fire, and other such things... all of them said that in every case, the guns stored in the Sack-Ups faired FAR better than the ones that were in other types of gun socks.
That's good enough for me. I think I'll probably buy some in the future, and stick with them going forward. Maybe I'll even switch out the ones I have now for Sack-Ups.
The way I look at it is, why not spend $5 - $7 to buy the best protection available for a firearm that costs anywhere between $200 - $2000.
But I guess it depends on how many guns you have... and how much money you have to burn... and how concerned you really are about such things happening to your firearms.

I have quite a few S&W revolvers and other revolvers and auto pistols. All
blue except 1 stainless and 1 nickel. I store them in shallow drawers that I
built for that purpose. Draws are lined with Machinist Pig cloth. I wipe them
with light gun oil and am careful not to touch metal when putting away. Haven't
had any issues and been doing it for over 40yrs.

FYI on the socks, which I've been using for years, especially when transporting several guns in a locked case to another location (to keep them from dinging each other)... I found that the extra stretchy socks often labeled "safe for diabetes" socks, slip over my larger handguns more easily because they stretch more. handguns like my G20 or my huge SAA Pietta cap and ball won't fit easily in my standard socks.

i keep all my guns in a safe and secure room under control temperature...at room temperature or lower. guns with blue finishing can't have cosmetic wears.

I wipe them down with a Hoppes #9 soaked rag, and put them in the safe.
I’m in Utah, pretty low humidity here, summer or winter, so I’m mostly just worried about finger prints, and the dust they collect while out using them.
