[Calvin Rayborn]

Thanks for the advice hunter399, I think? Funny as it sounds I’d rather just keep the original finish if possible

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.

Somewhere between well done and fried at this point, good mister Oh Mah...

I’ve lost track was this thread about the firearm or the holster?

I have a few Mike's holster never a problem,so it maybe a firearm problem ,not sure.
I do know RUST is called cancer for a reason.

I have never been a fan of Uncle Mike's Holsters, even when I used their thigh rig, they were just a cheap option.

Were all three hand guns coated with the same product?

For those of you who have seen this before, what oil/anti-rust product were you using?

I wipe mine down with an silicone impregnated cloth, before I store them in the safe. Never had an issue.

I'm not much of a handgun/holster guy, but I always was told not to leave handguns in holsters inside the safe for this very reason.

Never had an issue with blued steel on multiple weapons.  I don't store in the holster

So true, my '77 Dodge Power Wagon is proof positive of that fact!

True, but just for a couple of weeks? I've even left handguns in the DREADED leather holsters for a week or two and never had this happen...

[Alchase]

I have multiple handguns stored in holsters throughout my house, including my everyday carry. All mine are leather or Kydex, but I have never had an issue keeping a weapon in a holster.

I do not keep handguns in holsters in the safe, but only for space reasons. I have never seen any issues on my stash guns, being stored in holsters.

I have three Uncle Mike's. One I use almost every day. They're not expensive. They don't protect against the elements. They don't babysit your kids. They're cheap and do what you paid for them.

I think you're all missing the most important thing to come out of this thread, did that guy in the Duracoat video have a mullet?

Uncle Mike's holsters will hold moisture in my experience. If the holster had any moisture trapped in it and it went into a warm safe for a week or two, I'm not surprised if it caused rust.

I like the holsters as an inexpensive and functional option for guns that I'm not going to carry that often.

[Calvin Rayborn]

Yeah, but those suckers should breathe more than a leather holster, wouldn't you think?

Galco, Triple K, Hunter, whatever...never in my years have I seen anything like this. The moisture theory alone just isn't holding water for me...
