    Question Rust on Stainless Frame

    I have this Sig 220 with a SS frame. It was made in 2014 (approx.) but I bought it NIB, as old stock about 4 months ago. Now, I just found some very light rust spots under the beavertail. I've never messed with this kind of thing, so I wanted to ask what was the best way to remove this without messing up the overall look of the bead blast finish?

    It's very minimal, and there is never any lube there, but maybe I need to start putting some.

    Thanks.

    A tiny bit of oil and wipe it clean. Contrary to common sentiment, stainless is not stainless.

    Yeah lol. I learned that early on carrying a 'stainless steel' SCUBA diving knife. Had to disassemble it after every dive.
