Everyone seems down on WD-40. Let me say this, it is excellent for doing exactly what you want it to do, move the water out of areas that might rust. If you get home and cannot get to a gun right away the pressure tube on the nozzle allows you to blast WD-40 into the tightest places to get moisture out. Then you can do a proper cleaning job at your leisure.
If you leave the WD-40 for a long time, and I am speaking months, it thickens. It does not get gummy, it just loses all of its thinning solvents and a relatively heavy lubricant is left behind. And, that is easily removed with Hoppes #9 solvent...or any other solvent based gun cleaning liquid. Don't get hyper about WD-40. It does what it is designed to do and does NO harm to any metal or plastic used in conventional firearms.
