I agree with Keith, but I would be careful about making sure that your handgun stays well lubricated. Increased heat reduces the viscosity of oils so they flow easier. For my semi-automatics I will use grease on the slide in the summer. Things are cooling down fast in Houston so you shouldn't have to worry for another six months.Keith B wrote:The barrel of your pistol gets much warmer by shooting multiple rounds than it would ever get in the car from inductive heat.
However, your gun can get so hot it WILL burn you when you retrieve it from the vehicle. I recommend you make sure it is locked in a secure case/safe and that the case/safe is out of direct sun exposure.
Other than that, there should be no problems form the heat, including no chance for ammo to 'go off'.
