How many of you are going to try this when you get home?

I hope slide lightening isn't anything like butt thunder.   

Actually just the opposite, you want a heavy slide and light recoil spring.  The heavier the slide the more momentum it will gain on the backs stroke.

That was a long slide (compeition) model he was using.

Lubed up the G21 slide,............... and??............

NOPE...   I don't even think it budged...

Even tried my M+P and?.......

NOPE.....

Oh well, I'll just keep one the chamber, and aim, squeeze, repeat,.....

How about slide lightening? I wonder with a stock recoil spring it would work.

Actually you need a heavy slide that uses its momentum to carry it on backwards when you jerk the gun back.   

This was the "competition" long slide Glock he was using.

I attempted it with my M&P40... Nope but I get the enough play in the slide that the snapcap became partly unseated.

With the hammers pre-cocked ...

I can do it on my open STI 2011 Eagle 5.5;

I can get the slide to move but not fully rack on my limited Para P 16 with long slide.

However, this old body has some very choice words for those that led me to trying through your attempts.  I will try to keep it fairly clean, but in the words of mommy dearest ... HANG  IT  IN  YOUR  FRICKEN  ASSES !!!  Now I will go and find that Ben Gay stashed around here somewhere

this is impossible. there isn't enough inertia in the world to rack my glock slide...maybe if I remove the spring....no way!
