Just had my Beretta out in the sun and have noticed there is some corrosion on the barrel cover and also a few marks on the frame. I have never noticed this before, but the gun is only used rarely and usually inside, so I only really noticed it in the sun. Being alloy I really wasn't expecting it to corrode, especially as its always kept in its case. I'm pretty gutted about this as I rarely use it and mainly kept it as I like the looks of them.

Anyone else had this happen to theirs? Mine is the old shiny blued one and its about 8-9 years old. Anything I can do to stop it getting any worse? Wipe it with 3-in-1 every no and again?

Its mainly on the barrel cover and I notice they sell them at Chambers for £17.99, so I might get a new one of them. The frame isn't too bad really. It sort of looks more realistic with some weathering .
