It also softens "felt recoil" in all semi-auto's, especially pistols.
I noticed a small comment about Brian Enos promoting this product in a current gun rag issue...Looking it up on the web, they claim the above!
Are you kidding me?:confused: Someone explain this to me in a scientific/physics discussion that makes any sense before I call the FTC for misleading advertising... Please inform me, I got a boxful of greases/oils and am a "sucker" for new products...:)

Must be REALLY thick:what::what::what:

[DoubleTapDrew]

Looks exactly like the red chevron axle grease, except more expensive.
I don't think I want a lube impeding the slide movement enough to affect recoil, that's the job of the gun and springs.

You know...I've been looking for you for days. I am going to let you, sir - another fellow gun enthusiast - in on the ground-floor of an ocean-front cat ranch in northern Montanna. It has everything the modern cat rancher needs to relax and unwind after a long day of bucking the feisty felines out of the hills. Power should be available there early in 2014, and running water is available every spring from March through May. Nearby Uranium mines provide consistant heat all winter long, and the summer mosquitoes provide ample air circulation.

Let me know soon! Early lots are closing fast!

Please call Slick at 1-800-GOT-U-SCKR with your credit cars or bank account information.

Hell take REALLY good care of you :D

I don't agree with the "softens felt recoil" statement, but slide glide is good stuff. I use it on my range guns and it really does a good job lubricating and staying in place. Well worth the $$ to save wear and tear on those guns. Why lubricate with a drop here and a drop there if you're going to the range? Lube that sucker up and avoid extra wear on your pistol.

While I was reading their literature on the web, I was reminded of the ads promoted by WD-40 in the 1960's. It was like a "snake-oil" remedy that cured all the gun lube needs...Judging from the previous posts, we know how few use that product on their guns today..
Back to Slide-Glide, they actually show using a toothbrush to really lather up the pistol...Anyway, I'm not knocking B. Enos to make a buck, if it works: no problem....:) I'm more bothered by using the "testimonial" device for promotion (Rob Leatham, et al). I get a little skeptical when they start pulling out the propaganda techniques of Business 101....

[MarcusWendt]

Mad, I'm not half the shooter you are, but I'm a Slide Glide devote. Real or imagined I too feel it reduces felt recoil. Maybe it's all in my head, but it's the way I feel.

No one will ever ask for my endorsement, but if they did i would give it to Slide Glide.

I too am a skeptic of advertising. I heard about SG from other shooters and I tried it. Loved it right away. Everyone I've turned on to it loves it.

[orionengnr]

Grows hair, too! :rolleyes:

[DWARREN123]

Felt recoil, if someone says they felt it reduced recoil does not mean it did, subjective!

[VARifleman]

MM, BEnos is a fellow shooter and sells good products. It would not be right to try to call the authorities because of something simple like that.

[La Pistoletta]

We need blind tests performed with people who don't know what the guns are lubed with.

[loop]

I use Slide Glide and have no thoughts about it reducing felt recoil. I rather enjoy felt recoil.

However, my autos hand cycle smoother than anyone else's pistols I've ever known.

I apply the stuff with an artist's paintbrush and only to the highest friction points.

Rack your slide and rack mine. I'd bet $100 a head my slides cycle more smoothly than yours.

I'll even compare my full-length slide on a CZ to the little nubby things on any poly pistols for smoothness.

Is Slide Glide the only trick in my stable - no way. But before you blast it give it a try. I can get more than 100 pistol lubes out of one ounce of Slide Glide.

The worst thing to do is over-lubricate. I use a little bit of SG and two or three Q-tips of Break Free CLP and a gun is done.

No slop, no splattered lube, smoothest guns ever. Even holds up under the 120-degree heat in the desert without splattering all over my shirt and glasses.

For what it does I consider it really cheap at $10 an ounce.

[evan price]

SIGs like it wet. Mobil-1 here and there, I don't care about recoil and Slide Glide ain't cheap.

[Mad Magyar]

O.K. already! I'll try some... Let's see, I got a boxful of holsters, lubes, mags, etc., damn when does it end? :D Hmmm, I haven't tried KY jelly yet....

[owen]

I haven't tried KY jelly yet....

Works pretty good on ARs, just ask any Pat Rogers Student.

[OFT]

If an erection lasts for over four hours...................:rolleyes:

[Jenrick]

KY also works great as a resizing lube... (wow didn't realise what reloading sounds like to an outsider till just now)

-Jenrick

[Walkalong]

Slide Glide works extremely well. It is kind of thick, so I prefer it were a grease is best.

It is full of EP additives which lead to the softer recoil claim. It is difficult for two surfaces to squeeze it out between them, thus staying put and continueing to lubricate.

Gun Butter is another one that can make your slide run slicker and smoother than most anything else.

[Dr. Tad Hussein Winslow]

And, it cures hemhorroids. :rolleyes: Note to self: Don't buy anything Enos-related.

A stretch is a stretch. That's sales puffery.

A physical impossibility is a LIE, and is inexcusable.

[Zak Smith]

Some pistol shooters believe that the faster the slide reciprocates, the less "effective" recoil (ie, sight picture movement) the pistol will have. So I wouldn't say the claim is beyond the realm of physical possibility since friction can affect the speed of moving parts-- but I do agree the claim is extraordinary and would need extraordinary evidence to support itself.

[Broom Rider]

I've used it on soem of my guns and it seems to work okay.
It smells like.............well, sorta like transmission fluid.

[Chris Rhines]

It's really funny that anyone here thinks that they have anything to say to Brian Enos about pistol shooting...

- Chris

[Dr. Tad Hussein Winslow]

Who said that? :confused:

[RobMoore]

It works, and you'll see many competitive shooters use it. The crucible they put any gun related product through is far tougher than your average shooter, even LEOs.

They shoot more rounds through their greased guns than naysayers type keys on their greased keyboards.

I also use it, and like it, but I prefer the light version. In my experiance, in 90 degree weather, the regular slows the action too much on a dirty gun, and I get the gun good and dirty before I clean it.

[Hypnogator]

Don't know about reducing felt recoil -- I use it because it does an excellent job of lubricating the slide on my autoloading pistols, and unlike Rig or most other brands of gun grease, it also does an excellent job of staying put.

[loop]

I happen to agree with Chris. "It's really funny that anyone here thinks that they have anything to say to Brian Enos about pistol shooting..."

The man literally wrote the book. If you haven't read it you are remiss.

I tried it after three of the top 10 USPSA shooters in the world recommended it and I saw them use it on their own guns.

After 12 years of using Tetra Grease on my slides I made a change. But, I guess folks who have never tried it know better...

BTW, KY contains salt. That isn't real good for your gun, but if you like the way it feels...
