I left my gun (EAA Witness 9mm, Fullsize, wonderfinish), with the slide open for about 5 days, after closing the slide back, I find a patch of surface rust on the barrel, right above where the "CAL 9X19" is printed. Its easily a dime sized spot.
I have shot this gun one time with factory loaded federal american eagle cartridges. I fully dissassembled, cleaned and oiled it thoroughly afterwards.
Examining the barrel further, I see a spot of similar surface rust right near the tip of the barrel.
I went after it with some solvent/oil, scrubbing at it, and all it is now is black pitting like stuff instead of rust. Basically the surface is gone in that spot.
Can anyone tell me WHY this happened, and does anyone know if EAA will address this issue?
