D-wane Posted April 13, 2011 Share Posted April 13, 2011 I found the Slide Glide stuff at Brownells, so I figured I'd give it a try. I bought the lite stuff because here in Idaho we dont always have the warmest temperatures, and I was buying it for my sidearm I wear hunting. Of course, I needed something extremely reliable (ZERO FAILURES) because my life my very well be on the line if I have to use my sidearm. So I applied the Slide Glide to my Kimber Tactical Custom II (my go-to gun when I'm hunting), which is compensated, and I shot it when it was about 35 degrees out. No problems there, and it felt a lot smoother than it did before with regular gun oil. Just to make sure of its reliability, I put it in my freezer overnight (way colder than what we normally see here), and I shot it the next morning. I put three mags through it, not a single jam, just smooth operation. I can see where other guns could have trouble though, the rounds were ejecting noticeably slower due to the slower slide operation, maybe a lighter recoil round or a gun with a heavier recoil spring could have trouble feeding and ejecting. This stuff is officially my favorite lube; if it can handle subzero temperatures in the tightest fitting (compensated!) gun I have, AND smooth up the action better than gun oil, then I have to have it, so I bought a tub Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

punxsutawn Posted April 13, 2011 Share Posted April 13, 2011 Just curious....has anyone used slide glide on the bolt carrier group for an AR ? I have an AR10 in 300RSAUM and if the bcg gets even a little dry, I have feeding and/or eject issues? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J-Ho Posted April 13, 2011 Share Posted April 13, 2011 Just curious....has anyone used slide glide on the bolt carrier group for an AR ? I have an AR10 in 300RSAUM and if the bcg gets even a little dry, I have feeding and/or eject issues? I have. It works fine up to a point. It seemed to hold all the crap the gun spits back into itself. I had trouble with it faster than I would have with a lighter lube. Mind you, this was a couple thousand rounds so if it's for a hunt or something it would be no problem. I use it on an AK that I haven't cleaned in about 2000 rounds now. Seems just fine in there.

GentlemanJim Posted April 15, 2011 Share Posted April 15, 2011 The viscousity Light works well in tight open guns The heavy works well in hot weather, or on loose or high caliber guns JMHO Jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
