10 meter air pistol care

What is the general feeling when storing your pcp air pistol for any length of time. I am reading some conflicting information. Should I remove the tank and empty all the air from the pistol? If I remove the tank do they sell some sort of screw on protector to keep the threads clean on the pistol?

Fire some cleaning felts.
Take the tank off, partly filled.
Unload the trigger/hammer spring.
Remove battery if electronic.
Stick it in a clean case/gun box.
Close lid.
Store in a cool dry place....
