Tenifer, Glock, and “Toughness” - One season’s guiding & bushpiloting on a G40

sh!t which pullover was that?? I totally forget!

I've seen a bunch of other S&W M&P pistols from the same era as mine with significant rust on them too. Likely a batch issue, but it must be a huge batch, as the guns are all over North America.
I get Ardent's issue with his Glock rusting like that, but in his environment that is going to be a way of life for guns.

It was black and you left here when you stayed at my place during the IPSC Qualifier. I am sure it went to a person in need.

I would like to see just one of your "Bunch". I bought mine in 2007 and remains rust free to this day. I have never read on any forum about rust issues with the M&P's stainless slide rusting, including this forum. Never, even a mention of a small amount of rust never mind "significant". I probably missed them.

To be fair until Ardent's pistol I don't recall seeing that much rust on a Glock either when given a modicum of care. The carbon steel slides on the Glock are going to rust if constantly exposed to salt water as we have seen when fiven little attentiuon. Stainless steel not so much.

WD 40 is not a protector. It lube short time and evaporate. Duty gun should use CLP.
This is what military ops use.
That level of rust show the gun was not wiped at the end of the shift like it should be. Even every two days will avoid that.
When you carry a gun for work - to save yours or someone else life - .it is even more important to take care of the tools that will allow you to do just that in due time.

In my book - to allow a gun to go that far without due care - is not responsible.
