Tip of Conceal Gun Getting Rusty

I noticed today that some rust is forming on the tip of my gun. I carry it every day IWB, and I'm wondering if the hot weather is leading to excess sweat getting on it, in turn leading to rust. Anyone dealt with this?

I haven't had it happen, but I've heard of it happening to others.
Yep, you might just need to clean it regularly and keep it oiled . . . or just hit it with CLP once in a while. _________________ Steve Benefactor Life Member, National Rifle Association Life Member, Second Amendment Foundation Patriot & Life Member, Gun Owners of America Life Member, Citizens Committee for the Right to Keep and Bear Arms Legal Action Supporter, Firearms Policy Coalition Member, NAGR/NFGR Please support the organizations that support all of us.

Tons of options, but yeah...just something to coat it (CLP, grease, whatever) would be easiest.
Neoprene + Kydex IWB holster that covers the muzzle would be useful. Leather and nylon both wick. _________________ "Wherever you go, there you are." |

And this is why most folks don't carry $3k Les Baers. Carry wear happens. A little rough patch hear, some holster wear there. Nothing to worry about. What you can do is keep a lightly oiled rag wherever you put your carry pistol when you take it off at night. Give the gun a quick wipe(especially in areas of concern) then leave the pistol in the rag for the night.
The trick is not to have a sopping oily rag. Just enough to put a thin layer on when wiped. It shouldn't make the metal look wet, just clean. _________________ Licensed/Bonded/Insured Hardwood Floor Installer/Finisher http://www.hardwoodfloorsnw.com/ |

Sweat has lots of salt in it and is highly corrosive. I've heard it recommend that you should wipe your carry gun down with a light clp or oil once a month tor prevent rust.
