| Anyone else seeing rust on their Gen 4's? I've owned many glocks over the last 10 years and my gen 4 26 is the first one I've ever had rust. It's right where the slide runs on my kydex IWB holster. Kinda disappointing. |

Quoted:
Yes. G22 with rust forming around the barrel lock up and the slide. Also near the muzzle on the barrel and at the end of the slide. Not on one, but several from the same batch. My understanding is that there was a bad finish batch In the last few years as glock was transitioning to a more environmentally friendly "tennifer" finish. Contact Glock and they will take care of you. |

Mine was made 31/Oct/2014 and I have sweat like a pig, get mine wet shooting in rain(did nothing special after shooting just put my carry ammo back in and dropped into holster), I keep in the bathroom with me when I shower(high humidity), I live in S. Texas also hot and humid, and zero rust. I do know those who carry in leather holster who do not treat their leather have a high risk of rust because how leather soaks up salts from sweat. |

My early 2013 gen 4 model 19 is a daily carry. That thing would have rusted to hell by now if there was a flaw in the finish.
I did have a 27 (gen 3) that had a spot that the finish was flawed and it would have a spot of rust on the back of the slide if I didn't keep it oiled. |

| I too find the rust unacceptable. Especially since you couldn't make the older models rust. I called Glock today and they more or less said to piss off. Said they are rust resistant, not rust proof. Said to send it in though and they would make a determination on it. My old glocks had a bombproof finish and I never once seen rust in them. I have no idea what they are doing to the finish now. |

Since the well worn finish is an option some choose on having gun koted, we need a rust option kote as well. Or combine the two, well worn and rusty..that would be sweet.

I don't have the details other than a larger LE agency in NC had to work with Glock to resolve their problems due to the finishing process issue I mentioned. Glock can identify the batch by the serial number when you call them. Sorry I can't give you more info. |

The old ones will rust also, but it takes a lot. My gen 3 after about 15 years of carry working on the farm.  DSC01580 by , on Flickr" />

| All my Glocks are Gen3s and no rust issues. I have seen high wear areas on Glock start to rust on our S.O. ones. Got to beat the general maintenance and care of firearms into the rookies especially here in Florida. I've seen some pretty poor unit come into the training area. |

I'm a Glock lover so seeing rust on them really sucks. I also do cerakote so I've seen my fair share of rust on older model guns.
I'd like to help you guys out. Let's say the first... 5 people who are suffering from some rust on their slide who IM me, I'll refinish your slide in a single color (Unless you have something else in mind?) for free, just cover return shipping. Yes it includes the sand blasting and all prep. But if there's large pitted areas you may wanna go through Glock. They may replace the whole slide as opposed to trying to repair it. |
