I think i have some rust
So ill give you guys a little backstory before you start yelling at me. This past weekend i was out hunting whitetail. I never had much luck sitting still and waiting for the deer, so I always wander the mountain looking for them. I hunt in upstate NY and this past weekend it was about 20 degrees up there, pretty standard really.
When i throw on all my cold weather gear, I never have the problem of being too cold. But when i go climing the mountain, i tend to work up a sweat. I carried my xd with me in a shoulder holster. I am left handed so it goes under my right arm. The whole weekend i never took it out of the holster, i would just put the harness on, and take it off when i wanted to be more comfortable. When i got home on sunday night, i did the same thing. I took the harness off, and threw it on a shelf in the cabinet. Last night i got around to cleaning my shotgun and decided to clean the xd also. This is what i found when i pulled it out of the holster. WARNING The following pictures are not for the faint of heart.      Should i see if SA will refinish it?

Sweat is very caustic. I have seen rust on stainless guns before.
