If a tool normally used on carbon steel is used on stainless ,tiny bits of carbon steel will deposit on the stainless .The rust and the rusting continues into the stainless !!
The only pistol I had a problem with was an HK P7 .Moisture from persperation got under the plastic and started rust.I carefully cleaned the fame , applied RIG and sealed the edges with silicone wax.
