The last pistol I bought was a Ruger GP 100 in stainless. I have had all blued guns until this one. I actually decided on the stainless thinking it would be easier to keep looking good. My blued carry pistol is only about 3 years old and looks pretty well worn from sliding into and out of a kydex holster. The kydex holster was made locally and was probably less than perfect. It had some burrs that scratched the bluing pretty bad when new. So thinking about that I bought the last pistol in stainless thinking it would be more resistant to scratching and less maintenance to keep looking clean.
The cylinder and areas around the cylinder of the stainless revolver seems to be turning a dark color. I have taken this pistol to the range maybe 5 times since buying it new. The first 2-3 times the black color wiped off rather effortlessly during cleaning. The 4th time it would not wipe off its like a stain. I have used several cleaning solvents to try to clean this stain off. But no matter what I use it does not come off.
I have not used anything abrassive and I was hoping to avoid anything abrassive or any kind of polish. If anyone has any recommendations on how to remove this blackish stain I would greatly appreciate it.
I'm not trying to make it look better than new I just don't want this gun to look dirty or neglected.
