I can tell you which ones don't! The pins that hold it all together. Mine are rusting but oil is keeping that at bay!

Are they turning a reddish color? If so that is NOT rust...it is just the finish on the pins...some do it and some don't but it is most likely not rust.

I think it is rust because I wiped the inside block pin with my finger and it wiped off and looks like rust to me. But I guess without sending it to a lab I will now never know.

Are you talking about the Locking Block? If so, WTF are you doing to make THAT rust? Are you peeing on it? I have 3 XD's, one that I daily carry with NO FINISH WHATOEVER on the locking block and it does not show one ounce of rust.

I'm pretty much kidding, but seriously if you are having ANY rust issues that are TRULY NOT YOUR FAULT then you need to contact SA and discuss this with them. They WILL help you out.

Please be more descriptive as to the rusty part in questionand why you think it is rusting.

It's the front pin on the locking block. All though all the pin heads have the same rust color. I don't see this as a big deal that is what oil is for.

No I did not test my pistol with pee, I just noticed it whan cleaning it. I guess it could be sweat as Arizona is not a COOL place.

The pins on mine were the reddish color right out of the case. The test fire date on the case was 2/26/06.

Pretty spanking brand new so I don't believe it's rust.

In fact it's more of a copper color than a red rust color.

Hey DJ, would you consider changing your avatar? I'm about ready to blast that guy but don't want to destroy a $1200 monitor...
