Hi! I carry my pistol everyday where my sweat naturally gets on the back end of the slide where these white spots formed. I wipe my slide every week with a light coating of oil.
What are these white spots on my pistol, and how can I remove these white spots?
Salt?
That was my first guess, but I tried scratching it off with my fingernail and wiping it hard with a dampened cloth.
That's just where the finish is starting to flake off a little bit. Don't worry, it's only cosmetic and actually shows that you carry/use your gun regularly
oh that makes a lot more sense! thanks
p365
The finish shouldn't be flaking off, it might be dead skin. I'd try soaking it in hot water and scrubbing it with soap.

P for Pajeet
what kind of gun is that
FAMAS
>sig
you almost feel bad for em
I know right? I’ve carried my S&W M&P9 Shield every day since 2016 and the finish looks like the day I started carrying it. I don’t know what Smith & Wesson uses for their finish but they’re doing something right. The only way you’d know I carry it every day is by looking at the rear of the frame where the polymer rubs against me, the polymer has a smooth polished look to it in the high spots. I’d hate amerigan Sig even if they’re finish was worth a fuck tho, I’ll admit
>I don’t know what Smith & Wesson uses for their finish
Armornite (formerly melonite, which name they had to change for copyright reasons).
Ah, I member now. Thanks for reminding me. I know they supposedly use DuPont polymer too
Their*. Sorry I’m phonefaggin
oh shit are you me? I didn't even see this before I posted kek
yeah my shield is all rounded off on the polymer as well. it's a great little workhorse.
Me too I've been carrying my shield 9 Daily for 2 years and it gets pretty sweaty especially during summer and it still looks brand new wtf is wrong with sig glad I avoided them
I've been carrying my shield for bout a year and parts where it contacts and grinds against the holster are showing. Also quit talking like a god damn robot or make your story not sound like some high fantasy.
you probably appendix carry inside your waist band and that part is exposed on your holster. your body oil and sweat will rip the shit out of almost any finish if you carry daily. get over it. you will wear out your daily carry firearm.
No problems on my slide though
>comparing kraut magic finish with shitsig.
Legitimately, HK rust resistance is magical.
>USP
This, either wear wifebeaters like a wop or just accept it. You could always just get it cerakoted too after it wears off enough.
That’s rust, neutralize it and oil it some more afterwards and step up your oiling to every other day instead of once a week.

What kind of finish does sig use???
it's a really poor application of pvd physical vapor disposition. basically a metal ionized onto the slide. used to be applied properly and in gray color. 🙂
kek nitro carb vs trash. lol
The shittiest one they could come up with
>buys indian made pistol
oof
That's sigger cum
This mf has never seen dancing mini backwards appendage guy, everybody chuckle at his naievete and let us reap our amusement in his newgayry
ive been carrying my shield for 6 years now and it just happens. from rubbing on my hip, shirt, pants whatever, they eventually show their mileage. im actually proud of how worn out it looks without having to dispatch one dark person yet.
an STD
>buying a p365 with a safety
What a colossal gay.
People new to firearms like safeties, deal with it. At least he's carrying. Once he's more comfortable he'll just keep it off. Also post gat
Here's all but three.
>Posting someone else funs
Shiggydiggy
>being such a flaming garden gnome that you think those aren't mine
Top lek
Hey noguns I think r*ddit might be more your speed you would find more like minded people over there 🙂
Lol, lmao even
LoL!
Get rekt dude.
Some people like manual safeties. Doesn't make you gay. If you can't swipe off a lever with your thumb, that's a you problem.
Sounds like cope.
>Muh navy seal milli second draw time of .00000000065 will be impeded by a safety durrrr costing me my life uhhhh
Nice strawman, gay.
Then shut the fuck up about someone wanting a safety. God sake
Or else you'll post more strawmans?
I'm good, thanks though.

Also after you are done scubbing it with cleaner, oil it and let it get hot in the sun so it soaks into the metal. Use a gun and reel cloth, or, if you have a second carry piece, use real grease and let it heat soak for a couple of days to soak in good.
Corrosion from your sweat. Eat healtier.
What do you recommend for a sweat-free diet?
It's not about a sweat free diet, it's an acidity reduction diet. Sodas, excessive fruits high in acid, stuff preserved/pumped with various other acids, stuff like that
your sweat ate through the coating.
It's herpes
you should have chosen your sig based on aesthetics, chump
Are sig slides MIM?
Probably wasn't sintered correctly.
wow i expected my thread to die just after a few minutes and come to find out its still alive 😮
Did you manage to clean the white spots off?
yea, unfortunately it did not come off. honestly, the only time ive seen this happen before was with glocks sold preowned. those glocks looked five times whiter than mine.
get a better oil
Keep it lubricated and wipe it down after a day of carry, even with a little mild CLP. Yes your finish is wearing, but salt water is pretty corrosive. 30 seconds of time to wipe it down at the end of the day will go a long way in keeping your slide from corroding and oxidizing.
SIG... Shitty finish? But I thought SIGs weren't shitty? Hmmmmmmm
They're Ruger tier now. Probably even cheaper to make, they certainly look and feel cheaper.
