I have been carrying a new CM9 for several months IWB, right hand. This means the magazine release button is next to my body. In winter I had a tee shirt between me and the CM9. With summer came a little sweat and the magazine release button rusted.

I treated the external button with a rust converter several times, but it kept rusting. I have tried a leather holster, a ballistic nylon holster, and a velvet nylon holster, all purchased new. Now I am regularly putting a drop of gun oil on it, which is annoying.

I called Kahr and mentioned this and they sent me a new clip release that looks just like the original one. Does anyone know if Kahr plans to make a stainless magazine release? Or are there any third party solutions for this problem?

Right now I have resorted to a fanny pack, but I don't like it.

Thanks for any tips.
