OH OH!!!!

Upon removing my holster I found a spot of rust on the slide. Looks like it's time for a gloss black dura coat! I hate knowing that a gun that is about a month old gets rust! I wipe her down with a light coat of oil every other day. What's up with that!!!!

quality control issue

I believe it must be a quality control issue. I and others on this forum have never a problem with rust, while some have constant problems.
It is an issue I hope is addressed and corrected.

I was starting to get rust issues after owning the gun for a little over one month. Just last night after my trip to the range I put a coat of blue armadillo on. We'll see if that solves the problem.

Can we PLEASE put the rust issue in its own forum or something? I know its important but it would be really nice to have all the polls/problems/suggestions/solutions in one place.

I guess we could, but then the forum might rust
