As I said, my XD has never had a speck and I've beat the crap out of that weapon. Actually, come to think of it...none of my guns has rust except that one...maybe I will call em and ask how much to upgrade to a stainless slide. It would probably look better anyway.

Your XD has a Melonite finish on it so it won't rust.

They don't offer stainless. Hard chrome is your bet best for corrosion resistance and should not be a costly upgrade.

My Kimber Ultra Carry rusted when I carried it so I guess by the standards you mentioned your buddies Hi Point is a better weapon.

If your gun doesnt have a corrosion resistant finish, it will rust. Maybe you should ask if they will upgrade you to a parkerized or hard chrome slide.

I had a P3AT that I put almost 1200 rounds through without a single failure. The main spring finally broke and I called them up. Gave me an RMA # and a shipping tag no questions asked. They ended up replacing the whole gun and included a fluff and buff treatment as well for no charge.
