Springs and all the little parts? Are you absolutely sure? And even if they were, will that keep the calcium and lime buildup off of them? Use a gallon baggie.
They all have screws, springs, links, etc. that I doubt are stainless steel. But stainless steel will rust, if kept in an environment like a shower. If you doubt it, just leave your stainless revolver outside in the rain for awhile.
Had a friend who worked at a gun shop 40 years ago (I feel old typing that) and had a customer come in looking for a stainless revolver for the bathroom, he'd had a break in while in the shower.
No that I think about it I have two bathroom guns, 12ga Benelli and euro-pellet Berreta. I also wear two condoms if I'm dating a double-bagger. Put a bag over your head in the case the one of hers rips. Can't be too careful!
In WWII, commandos who were swimming to the beach near the target mainly carried M1911 .45 pistols. No waterproofing needed, you only had to pour the water out of the barrel, and it was ready to go. I presume it would turn into a mass of rust in a few hours, but it remained functional long enough to complete the mission and start swimming back to the boat.
But their equipment budget was probably bigger than yours.
One can never be too careful.

I never thought of using my 686 like that, but it IS stainless steel....
ReplyDeleteThe inside parts aren't. Use a gallon baggie.
DeleteSaves you the embarrassment of taking a revolver full of soap scum to a gunsmith.
DeleteGP 100 is all stainless.

DeleteDoesn't everyone have a shower gun?
ReplyDeleteHogue grip. A good choice to prevent slippage.

ReplyDeleteNorman Bates laid on the floor, bleeding out, his last thought was "Why did I bring my knife to this gunfight?"
ReplyDeleteI don't have to worry about the ferrous iron sights on my Model 65-3....
ReplyDeleteGlock maybe a better choice in the shower?
ReplyDeleteStarker here,
ReplyDeleteI thought Tupperware was for diy biology studies on pond or lake bottoms. Who knew it had so many uses?

Um, back in WWII (and Vietnam) the 1911 was standard issue for a handgun.
