have been wiping down and spraying with wd40 or some other kind of lube.

How do you prepare a pistol/revolver for carry.
Ruger Speed 6, Colt 1911 same thing.

Tear down & clean everything with Brake spray aka. Gun scrubber.
Inside spray Rem dri or dry PTFE over & in everything.

Outside use flitz Gun wax twice & let dry.
I have used this on many knives & other outside gear with great results.

Your just gonna pull & fire your 1911 in self defence, your not going into Combat.
So why oil & grease everything & make a dirt catcher out of U gun.

I would not let WD 40 in the room with my guns.........water based.

For my carry guns I wipe them down in the am before I holster. Wild Bill Hickock would shoot his guns empty and clean and wipe them down at the end of every day and start each day with new ammo.

If it's a blued gun you're fighting a losing battle! Bluing itself is a controlled rust process and is useless in preventing rust. I've carried concealed for over 40 years here in the desert southwest and my advice is to get either a stainless gun (which can still rust depending on the conditions and the stainless alloy used) or get a gun with a good finish like DLC. A hard chrome finish is also pretty durable, but electroless nickel isn't. I once had a 1911 electroless nickel plated and within two years of carrying it concealed it had started to show pitting.
