The end of the story for that torture test was that the G21 still ran, even when dropped out of a plane!

Under normal use and abuse, it would be very difficult to get tenifer-treated steel to rust.
I was told it was unit that failed solt test.
I was told that gun ran fine afterwords tho.
Point of it is that no matter what/how coating is, if you don't take care of it, it CAN rust.
