If you buy a brand new XD40 it will not rust.

I believe all the new ones have melonite finish. Check the fired case envelope for the date. If its dated April 2006 or newer it has the melonite finish. Shouldn't have any problems with normal care and cleaning. None of mine (even the pre-melonite) have had any rust.
