Enos Slide Glide - discoloration? Login/Join

Have any of you Slide Glide users encountered it turning sort of yellow/brown color after several months of sitting? That happened to several pistols that sat in my safe for probably 6 months or so. I'm just trying to see if that's normal for SG, since I haven't been using it for long.

I've used it for several years. It's normal.


Beware of a man whose only pistol is a 1911, he's probably very good with it.

Yep. Changes color. No extra charge.

Thanks, that's good to know. At least it's essentially rust colored, which is the fave color of gun enthusiasts everywhere. Wink

The color change is actually a built-in feature to promote training.

When you train, you also clean your pistol.

So when your grease turns to a "rust color", it's because you haven't been training and your skills are also becoming rusty!
