i'm just getting in to shooting and wonder why you would have rust problems on this pistol, i really like the feel of the xd and was just going to purchase the sub compact 9.are the problems, moisture and if so what are the correct things to do to prevent it.

Not yet, and I don't plan on it either.

my 2007, 9mm, service has some pitting forming on the top of the barrel..looks like, i may have touched it after oil burned off, and the salt on my finger pitted into the barrel.

i cant live with it....so i think im going to trade it in towards a new Sig P229 DAK.

only rust ive seen is on the finger groove area's of the slide - mostly on the rear area that makes contact with my skin. Its my concealed carry gun, so no supprise, but i may send it back for a re-finish. It is one of the older series guns (first run).
