The gun has a lot of finish left on it, I just wanted to soak it because those areas that look like rust are mostly dirt and grime that wipes off and reveals more finish underneath.

Luckily the grime seemed to be very dry because there a few exposed areas of metal from holster type wear which look like clean metal.
