I have a Colt 1911 (model O1991) that I bought brand new a couple years ago. I love the gun but it is very difficult to keep rust spots from forming on this gun. I don't know why. I have a dozen other pistols, some I have had for 20 years and I don't have this problem with them rusting. Its just the Colt. I called Colt to address the issue with them and they just wanted to offer me their finishing options that are pretty expensive and they would have it for 9 +/- months.
There is a local gun shop here in NC that offers a "CeraKote" coating for what appears to be much more reasonable prices. I was wondering if this would be a bad idea to put such a finish on such a classic gun. Would like to hear your thoughts.
Thanks in advance.
