Default Shorty 45 queston for the clan.

On my Shorty, the hammer, trigger, slide lock, safety and mag release are all black. Are these blackened stainless or are the blued carbon steel?

This is about the only feature that keeps the peice from being just perfect. I live in Florida and have a concern about rust.

Thanks.

The hammer and trigger on my Shorty 45 MKII are blue steel. The slide release and safety/decockers are stainless.

Hope this helps! Regards 18DAI.
