I clean my gun really well after every time I go shooting. But even still I am seeing some rust spots. I even have the bi-tone. I think this summer I'm going to get it re-finished in hard chrome. I found a place that does a real nice brushed metal look to all the parts.

check out this finish:

Looks very nice. You didn't include the price.

the price is $170 before shipping for the brushed metal. $130 for matte. the website is: http://www.apwcogan.com/Greetings.htm . Yeah they misspelled 'XD' on the pic, but it's spelled right everywhere else.

I'm glad you don't. Plenty of us do, though, and it is getting pretty insulting for those of you without it to keep acting as though those of us that do are either lying or incapable of properly caring for a gun.
