I have been pocket carrying a Taurus 85 for a few years. Today I noticed some rust on the cylinder (exterior), no doubt from being in my sweaty pocket and getting rubbed constantly. Should have bought the stainless version, but that ship has obviously sailed. I like this little revolver. What are my options? Obviously I could just ignore the rust, let it continue, and eventually demote this thing to a beater/truck gun. I imagine I could pick up a replacement ultralight Taurus or Smith in stainless for, what, $350 or so?
Another option is that my local shop does custom cerakoting. I could spend the hundred bucks and change to have them strip it and coat it. Would this allow pocket carry without rusting? I sort of wonder if Cerakote is that corrosion resistant.
Anything else I have not thought of?
