it will if your hands are sweaty. Wear cheap cotton gloves to prevent rust and wipe them down with an oily rag just to make sure.

Yes, touching a gun can potentially contribute to rusting if the gun is not properly cleaned and maintained afterwards. The oils and salts from skin contact can transfer onto the gun's surface, leading to corrosion over time. It's important to regularly clean and oil your firearm to prevent rust.

How do you fix rust on a gun?

First, you cannot fix the damage already done but you can repair and stop the rust from doing more damage. Take a fine sandpaper or a wire wheel or steel wool and remove all the rust from the gun. After the rust is removed, reblue the gun with a solution made just for this. Ask any gunshop for the solution you need. If the damage is to the point to make the gun unsafe to use as in holes in the barrel or in the firing mechanisms, you may need to replace the effected parts.
