    Question Rust never sleeps?

    Hey guys. I might be a little paranoid or just babying my first pistol but I was at SPAG on Saturday and put over a hundred rounds out and when I got home there was a scratch on the slide where the cartridge ejects.


    FNS-9

    Looks like the steel is exposed. Will this rust over time? Should I take any action?

    Thanks!

    Relax... "battle scars" add character and "cred" just like the wrinkles on one's face...

    My glock 19 has holster wear with the steel exposed and I haven't had a problem yet. I don't keep it lubed as well as I do my blued guns and it hasn't given me a problem yet.
    Go head, skin it. Skin that smoke wagon and see what happens.

    Get some solvent and make sure it's not a brass mark.


    But yeah, your gun is going to get beat up if you carry it, or shoot it.
    Don't worry about it.
    There's no such thing as a free lunch.

    My FNS had the same mark. No issues yet. Because the slide is stainless we shouldn't get any rust.
    I'm only here for the wood c-rings.

    Remember, stainless steel is rust resistant not rust proof.

    I thought this was going to be about neil young.

    thankfully, nope...

    that's pretty tame. keep maintaining it, it'll be fine. I've seen a hell of a lot worse not cause problems after years.

    Looks like brass to me also. Now is that pet hair over the extractor or a crack?

    Could be a pubic hair from someone's crack...

    Cat hair, flash - not a good combo.
