Okay. Thanks for the lessons. True words above, but still, saltwater ain’t a picnic for any gun:

Interesting that there are other compounds and organisms that deteriorate metal.

Impressive. Last year, I got my first and only Glock so far - a 34. I used it in a 10K biathlon where it got a bit wet and a little bit muddy. The mags, however, got real muddy. Somehow, it never jammed even with the muddy mags.

Well, it's a Glock, so....

Yeah, I had heard about Glock's durability, which is why I thought I'd try one. When I first handled it, I thought it felt too "plasticky" and looked a bit ugly compared to my 1911 and a Beretta 92FS I used to have. Trigger didn't feel that great, either. But it sure held up well under those muddy conditions!
