I am a terrible person. After I shoot my semi-autos, I field strip my them, clean them, lube the rails lightly, and rub everything with a slightly oily rag. That's it. Then they go back in the gun safe. On one hand, my ex-military relative claims that I'm "ruining them through neglect". On the other hand, I've never had one come up rusty, malfunction due to dirtiness, or wear out. What I'm doing is apparently enough.
If I were going to have a HD handgun sitting around for months or years at a time loaded and unused, it would be a revolver.
