I would like to start by saying I am an extremely sweaty person. I know my first issue is, after I go shooting, I will store my handguns in a foam case. I know that this is terrible for the gun as the moisture from my hands is on the gun and soaks and seals in the foam lining.
I just pulled out my 1911 and after two weeks sitting in the case was quite rusty where I touched it. Now I know that this is completely my fault for leaving it in the case so long instead of just during the transport back from the range. There is however no long term damage, I think. I just absentmindedly did not take the time to care for my firearm.
My question is besides the simple fact of keeping my gun out of the foam case, how can I keep my gun from rusting especially if I am carrying my gun on me. I am fairly good about maintaining and cleaning my firearms. I dont see how if I carry IWB I could possibly prevent my firearm from moisture. Will simply airing my gun out and taking it out of the holster every day be enough? What if the gun is touching my skin at all? Should I clean it every week? I dont have any safe queens, but The gun I decided to CC is my Colt 1911 Wiley Clap Edition. While I know that it will get some wear, which I dont mind, I dont want it to be pleagued by rust. Please tell me about your experiences with CC and persperation.
