YEP! top of the slide near the front site. and having trouble getting off.
how do you store it, in the original plastic box? The boxes aren't always so great for storage. Probably needs more ventilation (less humidity) and oil. Where is it rusting?
bimetallic corrosion?
(would be an awsome name for a band, btw)
I had a Kimber stainless start rusting on me. I use *A LITTLE* bit of mother's chrome polish and that helped. Just a tad on a q-tip, gentle buffing. USE AS YOUR OWN RISK and try it under the slide first in a hidden spot to test.

It is on the top of the slide near the front site and rear site ...i store it in a dehumidified safe and is oiled everyday ...i think i might just duracoat it and call it a day ...but very disappointed in the product ...dont think ill buy another stainless anything ever again.thanks for the info guys
Why not a coat of Nu Finish car wax,I use it on metal surfaces that I think will rust. Stainless steel will rust you have to work a little harder a it that's all. A true rust resistent stainless would be so brittle that it would be useless for all intent and purposes.
Probably a good idea highlander. I had a motorcycle with chrome exhaust and it would pit constantly then one day I polished it then waxed it. No more pitting after that. Again, you might want to experiment with using the polish and wax underneath the slide just in case it discolors or gives you undisireable results somehow.

Ruger is not known for quality issues in my opinion but since your suggesting...
MassBan I would love to try out what you got for your HK carry gun - let us know and hopefully we can make it over to the range to toss some lead.

Well I am a member at Harvard and Haverhill, I will travel if you have a local club you shoot at?
What is your H&K carry piece? I have shot plenty of H&K's but if its something different I would love to get some trigger time on it

I've had one for a couple months and this thread made me inspect it reallllly carefully, but I didn't see any visible rust. I've cleaned and (very) lightly oiled it any day it's been fired, but nothing special beyond that. Maybe I was lucky and got one made from a good batch of steel, but mine's still shiny after two months and about 1000 rounds.
Well im still oiling and storing it and the rust has stopped and the little rust that was starting is even lighter now so maybe just cause it was stored so long in a plastic bag from the shop....seems ok but will keep a close eye on it
