slide rust.....wtf

I'll second the Barricade. I use it on all my guns, but more so on the blued steel. Good stuff, can be had as spray or lighter fluid looking bottle.

I had all all weather (stainless) ruger o/u that doesn't look too pretty these days due to me assuming the same sorry thing. Tend your gun like any other one. We use rusti-proof for rifles. I've been cleaning my pistol often and all I have to whipe down with is no.9

Just 2 cents from aboater.
The words are STAIN LESS not rust proof. Rustproof either wouldnt handle the pressures or you couldn'nt afford it or it would be the size of a Desert Eagle 50..

Posted this earlier on another thread....

I wanted to share what I’ve been doing to avoid slide rust during this heat wave we’ve been having. I work out doors and have recently discovered a really great product I use to keep cool. It‘s called “Frogg Toggs cooling chilly pad” and it really does the job.

Anyway, I was amazed how much water this thing can retain with out dripping and getting my shirt wet. I also noticed that when it completely dries out it’s the consistency of a tortilla chip. I figured Hey! Reverse the purpose and see what happens? Turns out it works pretty good .

What I did was:
Wring out the wet towel, cut it to fit.


Place the cut portion over one of the wifes large mason jar candles to shape it for hip carry and let it dry.



As I said, it dries like a tortilla and is ready to do the job.

Yup, I learned this the hard way with my stainless shotgun, just because it says stainless doesn't mean it should be neglected. I'm guessing body heat/sweat is the culprit in your case.

I use nothing but Eezox on all my guns, rifles, shotguns, and pistols. One of the best at preventing rust.

mothers mag polish or flitz cream will take rust off of most all gun finishes. careful on blued guns though.

Nickel plating is essential for all marine/saltwater environments! Mossberg sells a "Mariner" (I think it's called..) Line of shotguns made specifically for boaters/coast guard etc.. We can only hope for a nickel plated Kahr someday- although I hear our Kahr barrels are nickel coated?

Yes they are. And the Kahr stainless will look great a long time with just minimal care.
