Good, rust-free finish?

A totaslly different answer
Instead of working on the finish: Consider buying a duplicate weapon and holster.
When you come home, clear the weapon and hold it under very hot running water at the sink.
Set it somewhere safe to dry, prerably over a low heat source such as a small standard incandesent bult (40-60 watts) - along with the sweaty holster.
Switch to the second rig while the first drys.
Depending upon your weapon you may need to lube the second one before using; some solid lubes may function through two or three cleaning cycles.

Dont bet on that first holster drying anytime soon. I used to rotate two "good" leather holsters in the summer, and never had any luck. They were always at some level of being wet, and the one I was wearing was usually soaked. Kydex solved the holster issue, Hard Chrome the gun issue. Rust went WAY down, and the holster was a lot more comfortable to boot.

I had never priced NP3 before, but OUCH...$395 for a complete pistol (but that does include all internal parts and one magazine)!! They are running a 20% off sale for until the end of August.
Don't forget, NP3 NP3+....
Robar now makes & sells the new upgraded NP3+,

I'd get that over the older style NP3. It costs more but works a lot better. I'd suggest buying and sending 2/3 extra pistol magazines. Those mags may be exposed to the elements more and will be needed for smooth, fast use on a duty/carry pistol. The Robar sales special savings helps make up the added costs.

Why not DuraCoat it yourself?
All you need is an airbrush and compressor. Having access to a blast cabinet is a plus, but not necessary.
I just finished my first Duracoat job on my department 870 and one of my buds started using up my left over paint and did a couple of his guns including his department 870.
We had to find a solution to the corrosion problems we were having with our cruiser shotguns caused by the marine climate in this rain-soaked blowhole. The paint job turned out nice, but the real test will come later this fall and winter when the storms howl through here and the guns experience the wide temperature variations of sitting in the vehicles in the electralocks.
