Hey all

I always had stainless slides for my weapons

I have a compact XD 45 is it ok to clean the outside of the slide with solvent?

Thanks Iron

remember, melonite is a metal treatment, applied before the black finish on the slide. the treatment prevents rust even when the finish gets scratched.
