I acquired a Talo which has a nickle slide. I specifically wanted the nickle because I seldom use a holster with this pistol and it is in my waist band when I walk out so the standard Ruger finish is not adequate. I found this to be the case with the LCP. I also removed the blue on the barrel simply for appearance (looks terrific by the way) and I have had no rust problems at all. I do make it a point to field strip and very very lite lub the slide and contact points evry couple of months and checking for lint and rust is part of the drill. If I had a blued slide and used a holster I would leave a minute coating of Breakfree on the slide and then not give it a thought. Now the magazines on the P and my 9 have had rust since I took possession and I work on them with Breakfree often.
