I just recently bought a Smith and Wesson 9mm Shield subcompact and fired it all of 15 times. Then I cleaned and loaded it for a few weeks, and then unloaded the chambered round and discovered a ring of what appeared to be rust on the area around the firing pin. I put a drop of oil there and rubbed it and it came off.
I'm surprised to find rust on a brand new gun so quickly! But was it actually rust?
