Stainless guns are the answer to the Lazy Man's Prayers. Stainless steel pistol frames or aluminum, combined with stainless steel barrels, require less dedication to proper gun care and substantially reduce the risk of surface damage from corrosion. In some cases, stainless steel handguns are offered in an attractive dark blue finish. Thus, the classic look is retained.
A favorite pistol brand, SigArms, offers exceptional mechanical design, first-rate production quality, superb safety features, and outstanding functional dependability and accuracy. However, the factory supplied barrels are composed of carbon steel. This is moderately acceptable, but strict attention to cleaning and proper oiling is essential to protecting the investment. Some other leading brands of pistols also do not offer stainless steel barrels.
Fortunately, there are sources of good quality stainless steel aftermarket barrels. Since some of the guns offer caliber changing by means of barrel exchanges, this offers an opportunity to kill two birds with one stone. Moreover, significant dollars can often be saved in the process.
Some of the popular barrel sources for SigArms and/or other brands of pistols are:
