gun socks ?

When you guys put your long guns in your safe do you put them in a silicone impregnated gun sock ?

I store all my handguns and long guns in the socks. My safe is jammed and the socks protects the guns from scratches and nicks. Have worked very well for me.

Are you using the silicone impregnated ones ?

About two but most of the time, I use nylon knee socks that I spray with silicon. That way the buttstock is protected and I still keep the muzzle end open. Not entirely sure why you ask, but, in or out, I use these. I also use them inside a hard case, for additional protection. ....

In this state, they are legal for transporting guns but I seldom use them, in this manner. ...

Be Safe !!!

The silicone lasts for just so long, the guns are wiped down with a RIG rag before going into the sock.

Mine are / were silicon impregnated. Even so, I always wipe the guns down with a silicone rag before casing them in the gun socks.

Absolutely use the socks - as mentioned above - they help with nicks and dings if nothing else. I use them, three dessicants and a golden rod here in humid FL to keep rust from forming - so far, so good

Thank you for the replies, I will be using them too.
I have seen the ones for rifles and shotguns but not for hand guns.

Great stuff for moving guns around as they prevent scratches. I don't like them for long term storage. The silicon eventually gives out.

They make them for handguns as well and again, I just put them in "regular" nylon socks that I spray with silicon lube. ....

I have been using Bore Stores for a while and really like them. The are silicone impregnated, fully padded and much easier to get the gun into and out of than a typical sock. http://www.borestores.com/index.php
