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.

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.

Someone burglarized the house I used to live in about 5 years ago and stole a 1939 Remington "Scoremaster" 22lr Bolt Action that my Paternal Great-Grandmother owned and used to "Protect" the old Family-Farm during the period that my Great-Grandfather had been deployed out to fight for out country in WWII... 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! A short time later, I was taught how to shoot a Gun for the first time ever, using that same, old, awesome, Remington bolt-action 22lr, once owned by my Great Grandmother, that had passed away over a decade before I was born..... 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... If that gun ever comes up some day due to the serial numbers being reported as stolen, I swear to Yahwey, that person will, in fact, cease to breathe very shortly after that!!! ☆☆☆ LONG-ASS-STORY-SHORT: ☆☆☆ PEOPLE THAT STEAL OTHER PEOPLES GUNS, DESERVE TO BE HUNG IN PUBLIC, FROM THE MUNICIPAL GALLOWS!!!

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.
