That's a common problem with stuff nowadays. I don't want to start another "back in my day..." rant but things seem to be shoddier across the board. Some things are still very high quality (HK handguns come to mind), but quality seems less common.

I still really like UCO Stormproof matches. And I'm anxious to try out the NOS Diamond ones I bought.
