Many years ago I thought I needed these slides or whatever. I was shooting a fair amount of trap with a wonderful later built VH. A wiser fellow than I suggested just wearing a good glove and saving the blue on the barrels. Seemed reasonable to me and I never looked back. My hand never suffered a bit.

As Jeff mentions, they can wear away your barrel bluing.

British Sporting Arms has them in stock, most gauges. If heat is the issue, I just wear an old driving glove, but I did buy one for one of my English guns to extend the fore end.
