I can't stand the people on forums like Glock Talk, so I'm asking here cause I know a lot of you lunatics are bullet heads like me.
My most-carried off duty weapon is my Glock 19, and it has been rolling around in the safe in my trunk for like 3 months. There is some rust that appears to be surface only that has shown up on my rear night sight, and nowhere else. Slightly on the slide under the sight, but up against it so I know it hasn't spread around. The tenifer protects the slide anyway. Not sure WHY it showed up, this gun has seen more abuse, salt water, rounds, drops, cold, hot and anything else you name then any gun I have ever personally laid hands on. I have put over 50,000 rounds through it personally and have let others use it for practice more times then I can count.
The sight is a Heini straight 8 night sight, not the stock one. I want to get the rust off, but here is my hangup: I do not want to take off the finish of the night sight. I polished my slide (less than 0.10 so I know the tenifer is in tact) on the sides and front but purposley left the top black and the sights black. This was for two reasons, first it keeps the sun from reflecting off the polish into my eyes and two it keeps me from having to remove the strip of skate tape on the slide which is a PITA just to put a new one on.
If I HAVE to take the finish off I will, but I don't want too. Here are a few pics, please excuse my extremely dirty and dull slide. After I take twenty seconds with some mothers polish it shines like a wet super model on Florida's sunniest beach.
