I made the mistake of leaving it in the holster in my truck , i know better but i had it in there last summer and it didn't do this , so my thought is to just break it down and polish it but not sure seeing as i have never do it . I would take and just have it cerakote it but there isn't a place really all that close to me so any recommendations would be great.

A little gun oil and some #0000 steel wool (rub gently) should clean that right up. Then put a thin coat of a good protectant on it.

I like Eezox myself but whatever you use, you should reapply it every month or two. Also, consider not using a leather holster. I'm assuming that's what it was in, since leather tends to attract and hold moisture.

I thought about trying that but wasn't sure how it would work , i had it in a cheap uncle mikes holster and that is why i was shocked it did it . Thanks for advise .

I found a rusted pistol in the trunk of my Dad's car after he passed. My friend bead blasted the firearm then I had it parkerized it. Very happy.

100% Take the gun to a gunsmith & have him do what needs to be done. It'll come back much better than what you could ever do.

Electrolysis Rust Removal

You can remove the rust and nothing but the rust, no damage to any other metals..no wear or erosion of the base metal..and if the finish is impervious to sodium carbonate no damage to the finish will take place.

Use graphite electrodes not steel.

Very easy set up, and it works like magic. Search "Shop Dog Electrolysis Rust Removal" and be amazed....
Ask if you have any questions on what you need or in general how it works, what prep helps and works better for set up. I've been using this process for years now with good success ..it works better some ways than others.. i have found through trial and error many ways it doesn't work well...
