I stumbled across this thread here where a guy removes the bluing on his Ruger LC9 barrel and receiver, wet sanded it with a fine grit and then polished it to a sheen.
Ruger's website states the material to be alloy steel. So my question is, not being stainless steel, will this not rust at some point if he does not keep it well oiled? It was obviously blued for a reason.
It looks great, but I have to wonder about the long term.
