I followed a couple of links that landed me at the Troopers' Lodge page with a picture of a sergeant wearing his S&W 439 in a Safariland SSIII.
The old "lasts forever" Porvair turned out to be so bad that it's no longer made. However, I'd guess for most issued purchases, a 5 year life span is close enough to forever for government work.
edit to add that Safarilaminate was Porvair.
Whatever Rogers was using was bad too. My Rogers SSIII virtually melted.
I didn't use the SSIII; I bought it to have an example of the breed.
I asked the youngest of our group - and HE just retired: he confirmed seeing troopers in the Glock era with SSIII holsters.
