10-day vacation in the humid midwest. Carried my LCP everday. Cleaned and lubed prior to leaving with froglube. By day three had a nice coating of rust on the rear of the slide. Same gun last year cleaned and lubed with CLP and had no rust issues.
Cleaned it up as best i could when i got home. Some slight pitting of the slide remains.
The combo of rugers crappy finish and froglube didnt work out too well for me. No rust issues with my Glocks and frog lube.

Must be the frog lube.  I have never cleaned my LCP and I live in the humidity.

I have no experience with Frog Lube but most every gun lube test I have seen that tested for corrosion resistance puts Breakfree CLP right up near the top.

This one factor is very important to me.

If you are sweating on a gun it will rust unless you really keep after it

I sweat all over my P3AT when I run.  No rust so far.  I use CLP

Gunzilla leaves a coat of lube when dry.  Big fan here.  Another option is Weapon Shield although I have no personal experience with this product I intend to try it.

Can't say I'm surprised. The finish is one of the big things that's kept me away from the LC9.

Melonite, Tenifer, hard chrome are all good options. Bluing, aka "black colored rust", is a bad choice for a carry gun.
