In the early 1970's, I bought a new blued Model 49 and carried it in an inside the belt holster daily. Due to picking up moisture in hot weather, I had some minor issues with fine rust forming on some surfaces even with daily wiping down. At that time, the Bodyguard was not available in stainless, so I sent it back to the factory to be nickel plated. They did a great job and, in addition to the beautiful finish, the piece came back with a better than ever smooth action.
