I called around to a few leather shops and everyone's "leather cleaning guy" isn't going to be there today, or is leaving today and won't be back till next week, etc. Turn around time seems to range from 1 day to 5 days as well.

I plan to take it in at least once and see what they can do and what they recommend.

I've decided that the reason my last slide rusted, is because whatever combination of sweats and acids from the holster are actually taking the finish right off the gun. Then when the layer gets thin enough, it rusts. No Bueno.

When I have the funds, I'm going to have Norghareli (sp?) whip me up a new one and water proof it for me.
