CBags04 Posted August 1, 2011 Share Posted August 1, 2011 For those that have the Cabela's stainless slide, or those that have had theirs bead blasted, what are you doing to protect the bare slide? What products are you using to stave off the rust demons? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Classic_jon Posted August 1, 2011 Share Posted August 1, 2011 I have a stainless from Cabelas and have not done a thing to it. Had it for almost a year and the worst thing that has happened to it is holster wear :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dcarter Posted August 2, 2011 Share Posted August 2, 2011 It won't rust as fast as steel but if you leave your pistol in your range bag wet it will rust.....trust me....I know! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kend Posted August 2, 2011 Share Posted August 2, 2011 It's stainless it shouldn't rust. Keeping this simple without an in depth metallurgical discussion, Stainless is an alloy that contains a small amount of regular steel and it will rust. Not as quick or as bad as steel but it will rust. Just like dcarter, I found out Saturday how bad an M&P slide will rust if you forget to oil it....

I got some Eezox in the mail yesterday, and I think it will do a pretty good job of protecting the metal; has to be better than CLP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
