I had originally wanted the bi-tone. Though if you see my other thread I may wind up snagging a great deal on a blued XD-SC .LexDiamonds said:If you carried it daily against your sweaty flesh, then yes, it is a possibility. For the most part, the stories of XDs rusting is a wifes tale and occured on some pistols when XDs were new on the scene. My advice would be to get the bitone stubby and have no worries whatsoever.
Since the XD wouldn't be my carry gun here's what I'd likely consider doing to itranburr said:I figured what the hey. I am getting one with a stainless slide and sending out to Sig to have their Niton finish put on it. What can I say, I am lazy about cleaning, I live in a hi-humidity coastal area, and I believe in overkill.

Thanks but they're not mine I just was using that thread for explanation of the tripps hard chrome that I'm considering if I do run into problems with the blueing on the XD.IS300_TRD said:Wow nice guns you have there. I might hard chrome my XD later on in the future.
Buy yourself a new one.manygunner said:I have never had problem with rust on my XD either. I do clena them every 500 rounds or so and make sure I let CLP soak in before I wipe it dry.
Seeing all those Steyr M-9 made me weep. I had one back when they first came out but was forced to trade it for a CZ-75 by my wife. She loved my CZ-75 so much that I could never get the chance to shoot it, so traded the Steyr to get her her own. Weep.
Not sure.WWIIArmsLover said:Now, beings that I'm new to the Blue Wonder scene, as well as the XD scene, wouldn't Armadillo prevent this alleged rusting problem?
