Is your safe in a heated space or is it just the interior of the safe that is climate controlled?  I’ve never had an issue with any of mine and I have pistols stored in these holsters, some of them for many years.

Mine and my buddy’s safes both in heated, humidity controlled residences.

Not sure which "lube" was used. Not all lubricants are really rust inhibitors. Some are less well made then others, can seperate and lose the rust inhibiting quality they are supposed to have. I'm not saying that it's not possible the holster is the problem, but I'm guessing most would agree what the odds are that the holster construction or materials are the problem. I've had to use different gun care products in different environments because they each have specific fail points. What do I know I suppose .

The stuff in the web address above is pretty good if you end up deciding to try a different product to whatever was used in this case.

Only Eezox or MPro-7, either of which seem to be in most guys’ top 10 list for commercial CLP....

Ok, hope changing holsters works for you. Sorry about the gun, bummer for sure.

My take from what the op has posted so far.The gun is bone dry,Has no oil residue on it whatsoever.If i put a very lite coat of gun oil on my firearms then wipe it down completely,then place it in my uncle mikes holster it is still gonna have oil residue on it a year later.This has none not even a hint oil was ever introduced to this firearm so i am at a total loss here.  :dunno:

I’m confused on this statement. The op said the gun was lightly oiled and it was in holster for 2 weeks. Where did you find where he said there was no oil and it was in holster for year? :dunno:

Entire gun was wiped down with a coat of Eezox. Same with the Ruger and S&W. All three rusted like they were in a salt bath... Colt is a matte stainless finish making the gun appear dry, kinda like a heavy parkerized finish

It's not the holsters. That's not the x factor causing the problem. Not across three guns. There is a moisture issue in that safe, whether it's ambient or the holsters are wet, or the lubricant is bad. Look at all of the posts of people using them without issues. What are the odds that one person got three of them with the same defect across what are most likely different manufacturing periods/lot numbers. The two constants are the lube and safe

It was 2 different safes from my understanding. And also I had the exact same thing happen with my lc9. Same deal oiled properly, stored in a heated safe indoors

I comprehend just fine,There is obviously info not in these posts.This doesn't just happen.

How hot is it in that safe?The oil is gone,I mean gone.evaporated completely.No oil and any humidity and you have rust.Does op have a humidity gauge in the safe?my safe pretty dry,i have no issues with humidity even with my muzzy caps.Tell us what the humidity is at.
