The original boxes should be fine, but be careful with the foam case. Of course, with a dehumidifier running and regular inspection, you'd probably be fine.

Put them in racks after applying proper lube/preservative. Why have them if you can't at least open your safe and stare at them.
The only ones I have in bags normally go in a glass display case. That case needs to be cleaned by my maid before they go back in.   She didn't see me type that..........  |

crown royal bags are the thinnest safest way to store pistols, maybe spray the bags down with silicon or other lube for extra margin of safety.

Don't use the original case. Toobulky and can cause rust depending on foam. Use gun socks that are silicone treated, or just buy some more wire racks and make em pretty.

I use these racks in my safe, they doubled the amount of handguns I could fit on the shelf: http://amzn.com/B005A32HYE

I "oil down" my blue guns with Birchwood Casey Barricade (formerly called Sheath).... don't use a plastic gun case or gun rug that cannot "breathe", and as others have commented, loose is probably better, especially in the high humidity

Those guns sit in those original cases sometimes for years before they're sold. Why are you worried about it?

Depends on the gun and climate. When living in coastal SC, I once had an early gen 4 glock 34 rust from the open-cell foam (though I suspect that the finish was faulty, I think this was shortly after they went to a gas nitrocarburizing process).

I store them in pistol rugs. The air in my house is as dry as popcorn flatulence.
MHO, YMMV, et cetera. |

Bottom line: as long as the case can breathe, you are good to go inside your gunsafe. If it cannot breathe, no amount of dehumidifier of the air out in the safe is likely to protect it from rust just from whatever moisture remains inside the sealed case it is in.

No, get this:
and store them between the sticks. Cases have no place in a safe. |

I have used the Bore Stores products for a long time, with great results.
They Velcro close, but let air in, and are a thick enough material, that you can just stack handguns on top of one another, if you are short of space in the safe, without worrying about scratching. http://borestores.com |

I store boxes elsewhere to save space. Getting ready to upgrade to a bigger safe and am going to order custom pistol racks from this guy:
