What Ruger uses is not color case hardening. It is not a hardening process in any sense. It provides almost no wear or corrosion resistance. You need to keep an thin coat of oil/ rust preventative on it at all times. Breakfree Collector or Eezox are very good. The humidity in the safe (or in your closet) needs to be kept as low as possible. The clothing hanging in the closet will absorb moisture from the air and cause rusting. Find a warm dry area away from outside walls to store your guns. Do not store them in a holster or gun rug or case.
