WARNING: Uncle Mike's nylon holsters are TRASH!!!

Aren't the orange logo ones the older models ? Like years ago ?

Yep, looks like the manufacturing processes changed at some point...no unusual corrosion issues noted with these older holsters like Bearpaw’s (commented on page 1).

Cheaper materials for a bigger profit margins.

Pretty common in manufacturing.  You hit a certain point and realize that the cost to grow capacity is enormous, so you shift gears and send it overseas.  A common problem is that if don't maintain process control while outsourcing, you tend to get "equivalent" product in.  Oftentimes in plastics, I've seen "equivalent" measured in many, many different ways.

Sending product offshore can be very lucrative, but you MUST stay on top of it.

Off gassing of chemicals can happen for years after a product is applied.

VOC's leach out of carpet for close to a decade after installation, longer if the pad is of cheaper quality.
Indoor paint averages 3 years before fully "Cured" and VOC's are no longer emitted.
All of which are terrible for us to be breathing.

I can see this adhesive causing an issue.
If the safe is dry, as in low humidity, any moisture in the adhesive will evaporate quicker in that environment as the dry air pulls the moisture out.

Wow, that would make even more sense with the low humidity scenario factored in. Dry storage environment in the driest part of the state out here in the basin.

No kidding - Found out yesterday that even good ole (formerly) American Stanley thermos bottles are now made in the People's Republic...What is this nation coming to?

[ctwiggs1]

Manufacturing in China isn’t really the problem.  Nobody wants to spend $100 on a thermos and Chinese labor helps us keep the consumer price low. 

The problem is the companies that aren’t controlling the manufacturing process when they send the work to China.
