I love my Sigs but they are rust buckets.
My P228 was in my center console the day I left the sunroof open during a thunder shower. By the time I returned to the car it was deeply rusted!
Took it to the local gunshop for a parkerizing job to give it a little more rust resistance.
Well, he warned me about to two-toned effect around the heat treated areas of the slide which is fine with me but it also came back splotchy all over... Looks pretty bad and I'm not even picky about looks.
He said everything else in the batch looked fine and that Sig must make their slides out of some bad quality steel or something. Right...
Any ideas?
