factory storage case

[keakar]

I think the problem you would have doing this is that when you pulled the pistol out of the case it would spit out of your hand like a watermelon seed. (I'm not a fan on storing firearms in oil, there are many other options already mentioned. I prefer the silicone socks. I buy the long rifle ones and then cut the size I need for pistols.)

point taken "i had a homer simpson moment" and I wasn't thinking about the grip issues it would cause.

I could use some silicone spray to waterproof the foam as a precaution so it doesn't trap or hold any moisture and use it in combination with the other things mentioned.

You can buy VPI paper in a lot of places. If it's good enough for S&W factory who am I to argue.

Lie-Nielsen Toolworks sells moisture inhibiting paper. They ship all their tools in it. Probably can get it cheaper somewhere else but I bought a tube of this five years or so ago and still have plenty.

I suppose it's fitting, their tools and our guns are about equally valuable. (I have quite a few of their planes, I like the Stanley originals but they're getting too valuable to use)

LN makes great tools. I have several LN planes and other tools as well. Expensive, but they work great. Have never regretted anything I bought from LN.

Also don't put a hot gun in contact with the foam it will melt pretty easily!

Wax, I use Johnson's paste wax or better yet renaissance wax.

Put a few coats on the gun.

Nothing is foolproof. If silicone will keep water out, it will keep it in. Be absolutely sure your gun is dry before storing this way.
