Hey Paul, if you could put that brass color on your entire slide, that would look BAD ASS! I wonder if it would stay?

don't use coke. i tried what you showed, now my slide is discolored.

I had a similar issue with my Mossberg MC1sc. Because I carried it in a belly band during the summer, the slide stop button started to rust. I cleaned it with some CLP and a toothbrush...just have to be careful to make sure that I'm wiping it down with oil more often.

Grandpa showed me 3in1 oil and a copper penny. Copper penny is 1982 and prior. Works every time. Wont scratch either.

What about pulling the backplate and firing pin out before soaking it in soda so the firing pin chamber gets cleaned out when you finish soaking? The process could leave soda gunk around the firing pin block being that the Glock is striker fired and get into the spring or striker sleave! Just thought I'd put this out there as my OCD keeps my tools looking new!

I'm from south louisiana too. I don't live there anymore though I miss it a lot.

Metals require a passivation layer on the surface to keep from being oxidized.. Using steel wool, which is iron/carbon base can actually transfer material to the slide and rust over time. The rust on the holster is just being transferred from the slide, but does not necessarily cause more rusting on the slide. Rust is the conversion of the steel to iron oxide. which really means a slow erosion of the metal. Once the rust is removed, a clean metal surface should be re-passivated to prevent further oxidation, and there are products out there. As you suggested, cleaning on a regular basis regardless whether the weapon is put to use, could or should be a daily ritual given your circumstances.

Question, will vinegar damage the coating? If not, it is very good at completely stripping rust off of steel.

🛑🛑🛑🛑Please remember to take out your striker before drowning it in Coke👍👍👍

I'm the type of person who's liable to drink the coke than use if for anything else.

Yup. I just restored a bunch of Bulgarian ak mags with coke.

I use crumpled aluminum foil. Only finish that make affect is bluing. If it takes the bluing off I just use a bluing pen to restore the finish.

I'll be honest, the brass on the slide looks kinda badass. Like metal tie dye

That new Glock finish is substandard. Yours is a prime example of this. You (almost) never saw that with the old finish that got banned.

A pencil with an eraser will work to.

My gun rusted to the point the slide wouldn’t move would this work?

Have you had any problems with rust on your M17? They said the coating was supposed to protect against rust. Clearly, in my wife’s case, it didn’t.

So we drink rust remover!

Does it still shoot and function? Just curious

if the slide is stainless why is it rusting ? or is it just transfer rust?

That’s why I sold my G26 and bought s&w M&P 2.0

Coca Cola, my fav. Thanks for the tip!

What causes the rust to begin with? Why only in certain places, then whats the chemical in the coke or the metals its reacting to?

Or just treat it like a Glock and simply wipe off with clp. It’s bound to rust again since you carry that gun. Also increase your maintenance schedule on it next time.

I want to try this with my mag

I bought a p89 with rust spots

Carbonation....breaks down the carbon...proceeds to clean gun with soda

if you drive in areas with a lot of diesel traffic, you get an oily film on the windshield. this cleans that crud off too, followed by a water rinse. an old friend of mine in the industry showed me to use copper wool for this rust removal on blued surfaces.

I’m in st Charles parish.

Rusty slide ? I use an angle grinder with coarse grit. Works every time.

In one of my recent videos I gave you a shoutout, Paul Glasco. God bless and happy new year

Aren’t there better uses for that particular substance

Wrong wrong wrong wrong wrong wrong wrong! This had to be photo shopped because a Glock just cannot rust! LOL me being silly yet again. Great information I would not have thought about Coke to remove rust but it works great on corrosion for batteries.

Ohhhh that kinda coke. Don't mix drugs and guns folks!

0000 steel wool & clp

Alright so I put coke on my slide.. It didn't work. I didn't have gloves so now I have the jitters and my hearts pounding.. and now I'm out of 60 bucks. Edit: Oh... I shoulda watched the video first.

Would diet Pepsi work?

I use clp. But your showing rem oil? Lol
