Sorry folks, my blind self missed the tacked thread.
So, let's take a poll about experiences with rust on your XDs.
Personally, the XDs I have personal experience with are
HS2000 (2)
XD9
XD40
XD9SC
Of the five, only one has had zero slide rust. Heck, I sent my XD9SC back to SA for the rust. They refinished it and it still rusts. GRRRRRRRRR. However, I do have very corrosive sweat, and all my guns get carried.
