for all you rusters out there.....
While I was doing a thorough cleaning this weekend, I was a bit bummed to find some rust under the grip pannles of my 1911. So there you have it stainless steel rusts too... but with some elbow grease and some effort it came off and its as good as new...

of course stainless steel rusts... its a ferous metal. stainless steel isnt rust proof, it just stains less... good to hear you got it off though.

Ok, lets us ban all metals that rust. Anyone knwo about any high tensile strength metals/alloys that are oxidation free? Speak up now. The main problem is people do not do complete and thorough maintence regularly. Every gun manual I own says to have your gun torn down and cleaned/inspected by a qualified smith once per year. If you can do it yourself, fine, if not spend the money. If you are lazy or complacent your gun WILL rust.
This is not mean as a general attack on anyone. I am sure many of you take decent care of your guns. I also think those who do have no rust issues. We rely too heavily on having finishes and alloys take care of the issue.

Titanium rusts too.... I think the problem with is unless you have a 100% pure chunk of a certain type of non-rusting metal (non-alloy) it will rust. I've seen Titanium dive knives rust time and time again even when sprayed with a thick coat of silicone prior to use, a good fresh-water bath after use, dryed, and recaoted with silicone again before storage. Then again, I don't know of many people using their XD's under the ocean's surface for extened periods of time. And may god rest their poor eardrums if they do.
