RUST PREVENTION vs SWEAT & HUMIDITY

Rem Oil, lots and lots of Rem Oil.

I live in southern Georgia near the coast, so I sweat a fair amount too.

Heck, I'll go so far as to say that factor directly influenced my decision to go with a Glock for daily carry.

Definintly removed your piece from it's holster before you go to bed, wipe it down, and let the holster air out.

I'm not in a position to worry about small children, so I have a rag on my night stand dedicated to this procedure.

Also, I wipe down the weapon and the magazine every night and coat it lightly in oil.

And +1 to the using shoe polish on the holster. I have a Tagua inside the waist band holster that I wipe down once a week with plain old regular black Kiwi polish.
 
I carry a blued gun in a leather IWB holster in muggy North Texas summers. Also, all I have to do is think about sweating and I start perspiring. Simply taking the gun out at the end of the day, wiping it down with oil (currently Hoppe's lubricating oil with Weatherguard) and letting the holster dry overnight has worked for me.
 
Honestly the best way to prevent a non- stainless metal from rusting under these conditions is to have the major parts hard chrome plated. It's fairly inexpensive, self lubricating and attractive....oh and pretty much corrosion proof
