Very light surface rust a few times.. I have not had any since I started misting the pistol with a light coat of WD-40 after cleanings. (I clean after every shoot.)

The WD-40 seems to do a pretty good job keeping the rust at bay, plus I like the smell.

Get a holster, you will be much happier. Mexican carry is for amateurs and people who watch too much bad tv. Remember, the gun will be hot if you ever need to use it and having it out when police arrive is a good way to get shot.

WD-40 is not a lubricant or protectant, so you may want to add a coat of CLP oil on there. The WD actually stands for "Water Displacement", so it's great for getting moisture off the surface and that may help reduce rust, but its pretty poor perforfmer in other areas. You'll also want to make sure you NEVER get WD-40 on your ammo, since it can penetrate the primer pocket and deactivate your primers.
