    Default Ammo storage question

    So in two weeks I am picking up my Glock 26. It will sit in my dresser with my G19, both in their cases. Only issue is, is that with my G 19 in my dresser drawer I have my ammo there. There isn't going to be enough room for two glock cases, ammo, and holsters.

    If I buy one of those plastic storage bins with a lid and put the ammo in there, and then under the bed...does anything think that will effect the ammo?

    Hornady, Speer,Federal American Eagle, and Blazer ammo.

    Not unless you regularly piss yourself in bed, to the point that it would saturate the mattress, box-spring, and eat through the plastic in the bin.

    Nope, your ammo will be fine. Enjoy your G26... I have the 26, and 19 as well.

    I ran out of ammo cans so my ammo is in a cardboard bankers box under my computer desk.

    Not unless your place is really humid. I had an apartment that was on the first floor and most of it was below ground. I had lots of stuff rust. You are better off with a sealed ammo can and throw in some desicant, but you are probably fine.
    You can never have enough horsepower or ammunition.

    I store most of my ammo in an old Igloo cooler in the basement with a dehumidifier running.

    Any cool, dry place will be OK as long as it's safe from children.
