Mr. Richards,
The Armor Tuff is very corrosion resistant. I have several friends who carry their Wilson pistols with that finish in inside the pants holsters, they sweat on them constantly (we live in Georgia, the summers are very hot and humid). The finish stand up very well to perspiration, oil, lubricant, cleaning solutions, etc. But like any other baked on moly-teflon finish, their durability has a limit. They stand up well to normal handling, but not to repeated holstering and unholstering, especially if you use Kydex holsters. My gun which has the same finish as the Armor Tuff started to show wear on the slide where it make contact with the holster after about 100-150 draws (3 months). My friends' Wilsons have the same type of wear on the slide. But not to worry the process can be reapplied thicker where the most abrasion occurs. Hope this helps.
