Moisture and guns

Oh I rotate holsters, and they are all good leather, maybe that helps too.

All I know it none that I've carried have rusted....

But put one in the gun cabinet un-oiled in Washington state.... Oh boy, that's a whole other story
 
When a gun gets wet, I dry it.
I do to, if I can. But thats usually at the end of a 12-14 hour day, and the gun is holstered and being worn the whole time. After I get home showered and eat, its right back on until bed.

The last leather I was using regularly in the summer were a couple of Galco Royal Guards. I usually ended up buying a new one each year, scraping the worst of the two I was wearing every day. The one kydex I bought to replace them, lasted 10+ years of daily use, and I still have it, and its still as serviceable as the day I bought it.

I was using a Milt Sparks VMII in the winters for awhile the past 10-15 years or so, but not much anymore, as I made the switch to AIWB.

Not any different here, especially in the summers. This is where the right finishes make the biggest difference. Glocks Tennefer, hard chrome, etc, are pretty much impervious to things blued or parked guns rust at just thinking about it. Things likely to rust, do benefit from products like Eezox, which Ive had real good luck with, with guns not carried, but still exposed for long periods, like n vehicles and damp places.

I am in Oregon Moonglum, on the dry side, so basically desert.

I live in the high plains desert of Colorado so we're in the same neighborhood in different towns.

I rode a bike to and from work with an M&P Shield in my pocket for a couple of years and I got by with wiping it down every night and cleaning it every so often.
