that stainless won't rust. Stainless is not rustless. It won't stain but it will rust. I got this gun from a friend today who said he thought it had a little rust on the gripframe. When I took the wood grips off there sure enough was a little rust on the gripframe.

If you have a stainless or blue gun with wood grips and you haven't checked it lately, do so when you can. You might be surprised.
