Amen to that Rick. I owned one of the early guns. I eventually sold my .44 Automag to a forum member, but a couple of years before that, I opened the original plastic case that came with it and found the "sponge" interior all melted and it decayed before my very eyes. I will never again store a gun in a case that has any kind of plastic, Styrofoam, or artificial sponge foam interior... If the gun had not been stainless steel, I am sure the finish would have been ruined.
