HTR. Yup sure was ... sold it last winter to a bud of mine . Rust developed a few years ago one summer , edc weapon at the time during that summer I neglected to check it for about three weeks , pretty much carried 24 / 7 .... Sweated profusely at work during the daytime hours / auto salvage work ... Carried in leather holster next to skin under t shirt .... By no means am I bashing Glock .... I still have a safe full 
Cool pics thanks for sharing. The visible rust on the slide, did it -belong- to the slide or was it leftover rust from the frame rails and the RSA? Reasong I'm asking is because I don't see any rust anywhere else on the slide. The barrel does have a little of "privately owned" rust, but I don't think that's the case with the slide. I might be wrong. Again, cool photos. HTR. |

This is my G26 and I have to keep it coated in some kind of rust inhibiting oil or my acidic sweat will pit the finish. Y'all should see what I did to a KelTec P11 and my ParaOrdnance P10. I sold the P7M8 because I thought it would be a sin to ruin so nice a gun. Wow, pitting WITHOUT rust. You must share genes with Ripley's bad guys
I can't see anything in the second picture though, everything seems to be normal there. Thank you for sharing. HTR: |

So far, the compliance ratio is LESS THAN ONE PHOTO EVERY 1000 hits as we only have two photos that comply with the thread rules and well over 2000 hits. Not bad....
HTR. Ok, my mistake  , 3 photos in over 2200 hits. Correction. The ratio would be something like one photo every 700 and something hits. Still not too shabby.
Keep them coming... |

They are, but tennifer is supposedly more corrosion resistant than stainless and my experience has borne that out so far. I haven't rusted a Glock, but I have rusted a few stainless steel pistols.
It makes me wonder if the corrosion in the photos started out from some other kind of chemical reaction? |
