Most amazing thing I have had happen to me in some time! The room these are kept in is dark..pitch dark so it wasn't sunlight that did it. Only thing I can attribute it to is whatever chemical is leaching out of the plastic.

So DON"T store holsters in large poly tubs!
Thanks again Jerry, I just went and put some towels in mine.
