I used slide glide on my colt 1911(may have used to much) and stored it for about a year, I notice it’s funky and a brownish color. Does this product cause rust?

Thanks for the suggestion @RJH. I've only shot uspsa but from the way some of the folks I met spoke, there's some sort of divide or maybe tribalism is a better word for it, between idpa and uspsa. I'm waiting for the next IDPA match in hopes I doesn't sell ou as I'd really like try it. Running and gunning uspsa style is awesome but ultimately IDPA sounds more aligned with what I care about which is just being a good shooter for defensive purposes and having fun. @GrumpyOne thanks for the suggestion. I'm planning on trying that too. The shoot what u bring aspect is really appealing.

So I recently tried action shooting as well as uspsa and lost interest very quickly. Why? 5 minutes of shooting...4 hours of standing around. ALL the local matches sell out in minutes and they have the most asinine sign up system too. Apparently match sign up happens sometime around 2 or 3 am. It's ridiculous and the same people show up to every match at every club in the area. They lump in beginners as well as more casual folks with the ultra competitive, tacticool, operator types who have a perma-grimace on their faces. These guys look at you with disgust for showing up with your stock g19 and an IWB holster ( you know, a gun for the real world that you actually carry everyday ), as if they were competing for the super bowl. I have to shoot >= 9mm which isn't a recoil issue for me (though it might be for some) but it definitely is a cost issue. That makes it 4-5x more expensive than 22lr. Why not have a divison with no scoring where you can bring any caliber or whatever you want and entirely for fun? So as much as I'd like to get into it further, I realized it's not a good fit with regards to time, cost, attitudes and the community which is too bad because shooting courses is otherwise really fun.
