They ran an email poll right after I got my Sigma asking if I would prefer to keep the plastic hard case, or go back to the old cardboard box. I voted for the cardboard box. I don't know what the results of the poll were, but I wouldn't be surprised if most people didn't agree with me.

I suppose if you only have a gun or two the plastic boxes are nice, but if you're like me, what do you do with them? I think I've got a dozen of them (not all S&W). They take up space, but they're too nice to just throw away. I'm sure they cost more than a cardboard box too.

Mostly I suspect it was to reduce costs.
