    Obviously they were pretty bad since they were replaced by a Photobucket graphic. Must have been too scary for the general public.

    I wish technology solved people issues. It seems to just reveal them.

    Hmmm, I've never had a photobucket account.

    EDIT: Looks like I must have, stand by for original photos.




    After wiped down.

    Well, that was educational AND disheartening...
    I really like the gun and my wife has one too as her daily carry, already starting some pitting...
    Crap, for a moment you had me hoping that the new and updated finish solved your issue...
    Thank you though, much appreciated1

    Putting duct tape on the back of my holster solved the issue.

    I hadn't worn it for probably a year before I sold it to Great Kazoo for $950 last week. Here is how it looked. The slide finish wore off from holster wear in the about the same place anyway.

    I love showing those pictures to see people's reactions. I'm not sure what people think I mean when I say my gun rusted, but it's almost never what is shown in the photos.

    That is new leather that I had replaced about a year or two ago. It is disgusting, which is most of the reason that I posted a picture of it. The other reason is to show how great of a sweat barrier that duct tape has been. I think most people don't carry as frequently, or for as many hours as I do, and of those that do, they probably aren't as sweaty. I don't think of myself as a particularly sweaty guy, but then again, I'm not running around touching other dudes so I guess I don't really know.
