OK, so I'm going to spend two weeks in the bush, and I need to pick a sidearm. No bear or zombie territory, thankfully.
My choice is between my hard-chromed 1911 and my Smith 686 4". I am inclined toward the 686...however, if the gun gets wet, and stays that way for a day or two, what's the likelihood that water will make its way into the guts of the revo? Consequence?
If this happened to my 1911, I would just tear it apart in the field, dry every part, lube it, and throw it back together.
Since this is considerably more difficult on something like the Smith, should I stick with an auto?
Thanks,
Rich
