I had a barrel from another handgun that I heavily (excessively) oiled and stuck in a ziploc bag. I just have to be sure to degrease and lightly re-oil the barrel if I ever decide to use it. You can find some decent information on different oils here...

If you are going to store them in a bag, the one that came with your gun is the right one, as it prohibits moisture. For me, I just throw mine in the tool box where I keep my cleaning supplies. I am pretty sure I will never use it again.

By the way bought the #22, the pull on the slide isnt tha bad at all, but it reduced the kick quite a bit. I kinda think I should have went with the #24, what can you do?
Anywho I love it, I was kinda scared that the rod would affect the accuracy, but it was still perfect.
Thanks Don.
