Extra slide protector

[Carcassonne]

I had some leftover foam water pipe insulation and I needed something to protect my extra Glock slides from getting banged up, so I cut a piece a little longer than the slide and put the slide inside. A piece of foam pipe insulation is about $3.

This may work with other slides (1911?).

Glocks in a blanket!

Do you tuck them in every night?

Not a bad idea at all for leftover material...way to make something useful to protect your slides from getting banged up. Nothing wrong with that....

I just put them in a sock

Not a bad idea. I need one to protect my CZ Kadet kit.

Are we talking slides or your father's ^%*# here shootist? Unfortunate that he slipped one past the goalie

Now your slide won't crack when you drop it on the carpet.

Doesn't foam collect and hold moisture?

It is closed cell foam. I think it will float. Hold on let me check....

No, it doesn't float.

This is a joke, right?

No. Why would it be?

I have several different slides for my Glock pistols. I don't like them banging around in my bag. I have been using mesh sleeves, but I like the foam better because it is thicker.

Try a pool noodle then, those are definitely closed-cell foam (and float) and cost like $1 at walmart. Can even pick fancy colors.

But will it float with the slide inside?
