I love that you use electrolysis to remove most of the rust. It's too bad the barrel and slide couldn't be saved. Other than that it's a nice restore

[@MB-nn3jw]

Electrolysis doesn't remove much rust other than some surface rust as it is directional to the positive current. Any internal rust is unlikely to be affected by electrolysis. Watch some other genuine restorers and presenters e.g Backyard Ballistics that are credible and have actual knowledge of the processes involved. It is also highly unlikely this handgun was "underwater for decades". More probably bought cheap second-hand in poor condition, and then deliberately submerged in various rust-producing solutions to accelerate an appearance of rusting for click-bait and money-making. TBH, it seems most of these youtube so-called restorers are guilty of this fakery behaviour. Look at this presenter's video history for example. He started off small, testing the market with a gun magazine and some knives, then proceeded to find cheap handguns to demonstrate on. It wouldn't be so bad if these presenters were honest about it, rather than BS everyone.

Then it was passed down to my Grandfather, whom in turn, passed it on down to my Father when I was around 5-years-old!

One day, come home from work to a broken window and lots of things missing throughout my house, but BY FAR, the worst thing was that irreplaceable Family Heirloom...

Looks like the slide acted as an anode and was sacrificed, which preserved most of the other main parts. This is most likely due to being a different metal mix than other parts which caused sacrificial galvanic corrosion.

Did you replace the actual trigger, or were you able to re-use the original? I have a P89DC that has an extremely long trigger pull.
