Now I'm not someone who treats his firearms like a hammer. I keep them lubed and oiled. The bluing on both guns was poor, contact with water for any length of time will lead to significant rust. When you see Sig, S&W, Springfield, etc. pistols selling for a little more, the reason is that the slides are stainless steel and have a good nitride coating on them. I won't own another ruger pistol that's not stainless.
Well I mean carbon steel is technically a type of alloy which can certainly be hardened to their liking. Sorry your not happy with the product but they didn’t exactly misrepresent the product.

I am a big fan of Ruger. My SR9c is my daily carry and have not had one jam or misfire at the range. I will not buy another S&W because of this issue.
The only rust I have experienced is on the magazine when I dont clean it after many times wearing it and sweating.
Sorry to hear you are having issues. Maybe contact them to see what they can do?

And just because you don't see rust on the outside does not mean the mechanisms are not rusted inside which in my opinion is a bigger problem
