Is this a real question? That would obviously depend on a lot of factors, such as how well you take care of it, how humid of a climate you live in, what finish is on the gun, how acidic your sweat is, etc...

All guns will rust if you do not care for them. Regardless of whether or not they are a certain brand. Prevention of rust is VERY easy through proper care and maintenance. Once you allow your weapon to rust, it is not so easy to fix. It all depends on you and your dedication to keeping your investment in tip top shape. You would not allow for a hacker to come and steal your savings account would you?

Prevention is best. Check your gun occasionally (I check mine weekly as I live in the country and have alot of dust). Clean it after shooting, or if you don't shoot it that much, clean it every so often to prevent rust.

Summary: Prevention and Cleaning GOOD, Rust and Neglect BAD
