Hi all,
It's been awhile since I've posted here but the knowledge found here at this forum has never let me down. I was cleaning my 92 Compact Inox tonight when I noticed some peculiar looking spotting on the frame. I'm not sure what it is and the only thing I can come up with is the Hoppes Elite cleaner that I spray into the frame when cleaning has reacted with the metal or Inox finish? I've probably only cleaned the gun 4-5 times since buying it and I was under the impression that Hoppes Elite cleaner was safe for this gun. I always wipe the whole frame down with an oily rag afterwards. Ive used the same cleaner on my Witness .45 in Wunderfinsh and my AR and havent noticed any abnormal spotting. If the spots were just relegated to the grip I would chalk it up to wear (although seemingly premature as I've fired less than 500 rds through it) but the spots are in places that just don't see much wear, especially after less than 500rds. The rest of the gun seems to be in good shape. Being somewhat of a nube if appreciate some feedback as to what these spots are. I'd especially like to hear from other owners of the beretta 92 compact inox and if they experienced the same thing. I will try and post some pics below.Thanks in advance.
