Has anyone had trouble with certain parts rusting on there Hellcat? No matter how you try and prevent it.

My name is Bill and I own a micro Hellcat 9mm. My disassemble lever and front sight keeps rusting. I’ve had it replaced and the same thing keeps happening no matter what I do. And it’s the same parts. Everything else is fine.

My Hellcat slide is a chewed up from holster friction, but it shoots great and is super easy to carry.
The slide finish could be better, but I will take a beat up looking gun that functions flawlessly over a pretty one any day.

No firearm that one carries should rust ever. 1 year or 5 years. We use them daily and sometimes it rains, then go home and clean them so they should not rust.
Just a poor finish and sloppy manufacturing. Poor quality.
