[QUOTE="dennishoddy, post: 1247874, member: 5412"] Here is my disclaimer: I don't know if this is a fact or not. Just repeating some info from a person that is extremely knowlegeble about guns and chemistry. He has a PHD in chemistry. His claim is that leather is tanned using tannic acid, not all of which is removed when it is finished. Guns stored in leather holsters that can become damp with sweat or high humidity, stand a better chance of causing rust in a gun than guns carried in snythetic holsters. His comments, not mine. 0000 steel wool and a little gun oil will remove rust and not hurt the blueing, Ive been told. Just don't rub too hard and too long. BTW, my Keltec is in my front pocket every day in a Desantis synthetic pocket holster, and I do not wipe it down daily, and it has no rust. I did treat it with silicon spray a year or so ago.
