I have a blued Mod 15 I brought back in '64 and carried when I was a reserve cop, and carried it as an agent for a couple of years, It has holster wear but no rust. My solution was to wipe it down whenever it was handled with a silicon rag. Old time but still pracical method to preserve finish...

I do not recall the model number but the last gun issued to me before I retired from DEA was a 3" stainless S&W .357 magnum. Shortly before I retired in '89 DEA began issuing semi-autos in 9mm. Don't know if this helps or confuses. fedret

Bought my first Bodyguard in 1969/70 for use as a BUG and UC, still have it. Hadit nickled by the factory in about 1971. They also tuned it for me and it only cost $15 and change. Bought another one off an FBI S/A, but it ended up with a son. Still carry my first Bodyguard, and qualify with it...
