Avoiding corosion on firearms?
During the Summer months, I’ve had bad experiences where some firearms go messed up on the finish because my body swear just built up so much in the holsters that the guns literally sat in corrosive environments for so long that even the protective layer of CLP wore off and the guns finish was ruined. There are many reasons the military has moved away from wood stocks on rifles to composite and sidearms are moving towards polymer for just about every gun. The Springfield XD, Smith & Wesson M&P have all taken up some of the Glock market but even Sig Sauer has their foot in the door.
I am a big fan of 45acp pistols, but I am not a big fan of double stack 45acp guns. The reason for this is the guns are just too darn heavy and a Glock 9mm with 17rd spare Glock Magazines is fine by my if I have to carry one all day. Not having to reload half as much with a larger capacity magazine means something in the Law Enforcement world and the Military. We see more and more polymer sidearms being used by Soldiers in Iraq and Afghanistan for the same reason.
