Carry guns get dirty and rusty. Our regulars know how I feel about photos of cherry daily CCW guns. But…I saw something a few days ago that did catch my attention: It seems I have rusted the underside of the VP9 slide-stop.
Whoops.
I guess that begets a questions and answers one. The latter being? Is the slide-stop on this gun steel or aluminum? The former being? Am I going to detail strip this VP and clean the underside?
Stay tuned for the answer.
😉
