XD Bi-Tone Users

Have you guys experienced any glare problems when firing outside in the sun?

The top surface of the slide is very shiny - they should have dulled it a bit I'm thinking.

Well duh!!! The Bi-Tone was only designed for covert ops at night, so you don't have to worry about the sun!!!

Funny thing about stainless steel.

It will still rust if not taken care of properly.
