Preparation for evential water dunk?

I like to camp, kayak and boat often. I have accidentally drown a couple of cell phones inthe past. I keep my phone in waterproof containers. What about my carry gun. I want to

carry it all the time especially while portaging or camping. I have a stainless J-frame

revolver and a XD 45 ACP. Are there any products out there to help protect the finish and

mechanics of my carry pistols if I wind up in the drink or drenched by rain? I am looking

for something better than just a complete gun cleaning after water contact because itmight have to wait a quite a few hours before I can break it down. Thanks

Pelican cases

Any of the Pelican cases will suit your needs just fine. The small cases are probably your

best bet.

A suggestion....

A cheap, easy solution is freezer zip-loc bags.

Waterproof and easier to access than a case if you need the weapon in a hurry.

It's a shame that "Common Sense" isn't...

Beeezzz Wax!

I have never done this myself but a bro-in-law sounds just like you. He is always wet. He

also has a "J" frame (clone) and I think he takes it out on the PWC with him. He has

always just rubbed a little beeswax around the joints and moving things and he swears

that he has never had a problem. I strip cleaned it for him once a few years ago, and I wasimpressed how nicely it cleaned right up, the surface looked new under all that wax. He

says "Just dump the water out of it, check for debris, and use it".I do not recommend this. I'm just telling you what I saw.

I wouldn't worry about it

I'd just oil it up a little more and re-oil when I could. Guns are pretty water proof, and

since you've got stainless steel it won't rust.

The beeswax is an interesting idea too. I hadn't really heard of that one.

I see pictures of Navy seals rising out of the water with M4 dripping water. Do soldiers

take any special precautions to keep weapons dry in the field?

Not a worry

Guns that never get wet are spoiled All of my guns have been at least exposed to

weather and my shotgun has been submerged in the swamp on more than one occasion.

I'd make sure the barrel was clear before firing, but that's the only worry I'd have in thefield. You will want to give it a detailed cleaning when you get back inside, but other

than that you have no worries (especially with stainless!).

Sounds good

I like the Pelican cases and will probably get a few, for more than just my guns. I usually

use ziplock bags. The Bee's wax sounds good too. I will do that on my stainless revolver

but not my XD Semi auto.As far as the revolver being stainless steel, I did think of that, and that is why I bought SS

but what about the mechs they aren't stainless. Also, I was in the Army and did get my

weapon wet often. I oiled and cleaned the heck out of it all the time and always

disassembled it after getting it wet, but I don't have that kind of time now. I can't

remember if any of the parts ever got rusty, bad memory, too many brain injuries. Thanksso far for the responses.

Thanks for the response, your experiences make me feel better about getting them wet. I

travel a lot and get sent to bad places by my employer and want my weapons in the best

shape possible my life may depend on it. Having my revolver already kept me from beingrobbed once.

The XD45ACP has a Melonite finish -- this is another name for the Tenifer finish that isused by Glock. This finish will not rust. (Technically it's not really a "finish"; it's a

nitriding process that changes the molecular structure of the steel for a couple molecules

+1 for this method. Go ahead and oil well with a good rust resisting oil amd make surethat all internal springs get some as they will be the ones that are damaged most from

"dunking" especially if in salt water.

The neat thing about a freezer bag vs. a Pelican Case is the ease of access. If you need

your pistol in a hurry, just punch your finger through the bag into the trigger guard and it

is ready for use. The polyethelyne film will not hinder the operation and you won't haveto worry about a bore full of water.

If you are carrying an autoloader, you won't even have to worry about picking up brass

Soldiers and water

On the M-16, close the dust cover and we used to put condoms over the muzzle, fixed on

with rubber bands. Keeps the mud and crap from going down the barrel. First shot, thegas just blows the condom right off, no worries. I still do this with my hunting rifle, in

case I slip and the muzzle goes down into snow or mud.
