How are the newest lone wolf slides working these days? Is there a preference for durability? There isn't a while lot of reviews as of late.
Thoughts?

Yep, only it would need slightly more care for rust prevention than the tennifer finish.A stainless steel slide combined with stainless barrel, your Glock would just about be qualified to spend its life out at sea on a boat in a salty environment, wouldn't it?
Judging by the many stainless steel guns I have owned, a stock Glock slide is harder and rusts less. Besides being softer and less durable, stainless rusts.A stainless steel slide combined with stainless barrel, your Glock would just about be qualified to spend its life out at sea on a boat in a salty environment, wouldn't it?

I opened LWD in '98. Honestly, never received a complaint regarding a barrel or slide rusting? I guess this begs the question as to how neglectful you could be to allow it to happen?
If neglectful rust is a real concern you could have LWD apply the Black Stainless or Salt Bath Nitrate coating. Good for an additional 3K+ hrs of salt protection
Not to de-rail the thread, but is there plans in place to make the dual spring system for the G20 G4s without using the conversion adapter?I opened LWD in '98.

Gracias! :thumbsup:Lone Wolf should have all model Gen4 stainless steel guide rods available next week
Factory weights first run. LWD Gen4 captured GR feature removable tips so the user will have complete control of spring weight
Run a Gen3 recoil spring system with Gen4 adapter for now. This way you have complete control over the weights. If you require help contact our CS agents. Our Gen4 RSA project is ready to launch with factory weight springs only, however additional weight springs will not surface for a few months.
Unfortunately no effort is being put into redesign of Gen4 slides, we cant make enough Gen3 to fill the current need.
I apologize to the OP, I didnt intend on derailing the subject of stainless slides. I can tell you we have pretty reliable stuff and you will be happy with it. We ran a sale a few weeks back, buy a slide and get a free barrel. I have a feeling we will run a similar sale again. If you are interested in building a top end this may be your chance?
