| I'm just curious. Leaving my gun in my hot car while at work....what kind of effects will this cause. I'm sure I should clean it a bit more often than my others in my air conditioned home. It's hot when I first pick it up after sitting awhile, but I have yet to notice any sweating or real moisture? Hope this isn't a stupid question. |
well if the gun is parked the heat will make the oil run on whatever it's touching, but you don't need to worry about the heat from a car, you need to worry about your peice being stolen from your car. If you got that solved you have nothing to worry about |

Don’t see any major issues with the pistol. I’d be much more worried about bringing the pistol into a warm, humid house after leaving it out in a really cold car, since this can cause condensation. The ammo is a somewhat different story. Prolonged heat can significantly (though not instantaneously) degrade powder. Thus I’d probably swap out the ammo every once in a while (at least yearly), which is a good idea anyway. Also, store the pistol and ammo in the lowest possible (and suitable) location to keep it as cool as possible. |
