For the cell, I just set it out in the bright sun and let it bake. I’ve been trying to kill it for months but alas it still works.
The NAA, I didn’t use a bowl but did basically soak it in LCP.
The Glock I took apart and wiped all the pieces down. It is only a few months old with 900-ish rounds through it. It’s finish should be pretty well intact.
The holsters were dried slowly and they seem okay. They both had a bit of glove oil on them and seem no worse for wear. I wore them both in the last bit of drying so that they’d keep their shape.
The ammo will get used up at the range. With no stress (IDPA use, etc) I should notice a squib easily. I’ll just use it as another excuse to run some carry ammo through the guns. I’ll actually be pretty disappointed if the ammo is so fragile that 10-12 seconds under 3-ish feet of water would cause it to readily fail. Granted, I wouldn't call that normal conditions for my EDC but still seems fragile if it plays out that way.

Still waiting for the urge to kick myself to pass.

I am beyond annoyed with myself. I try to be diligent about taking off my phone when brushing the pool because I’ve fallen in before. Well it’s a new season with the new CHL and I was/am out of practice. So today I didn’t just go in with my phone, I went in with my G26 in the Minotaur, the NAA in a homemade leather pocket holster and the afore mentioned phone. My first grab was to get the G26 above water. After cursing myself for falling in I felt even dumber as I stand in the pool with my pistol and head barely above water. I felt like a really cheesy version of an urban special forces poster. “Look at the man sneaking through all of that clear water, in broad daylight, gun at the ready.”

Magically enough all three pieces of hardware survived.

I’ll shoot the “baptized” carry ammo next run to the range. Even if it was for only a few seconds, I see no reason to leave those rounds in the carry equation.

Feeling like a goober is a way of life for some of us.
