[QUOTE="BadgeBunny, post: 2084814, member: 1242"] They are both fine. The problem is not the slides ... The problem is you (no offense). I have a pretty significant neck injury and carpal tunnel injuries and can still rack the slide on all my guns. Try this with an UNLOADED gun: Hold the gun in your strong hand, put your weak hand on the slide like you are gonna rack it. (Nevermind if you can't right now -- that's not the point of this exercise.) Now grip the gun firmly and PUSH away from you with your strong hand and PULL toward you with your weak hand. Again, nevermind if you can't actually perform a rack right now. Do this 10 times a couple times a day. The idea is build up the muscles so you will be able to do it. Also, no matter how difficult you find racking the slide don't let someone else do it for you. It'll come to you fairly quickly, I promise. You just need a little more strength in your grip, arms and shoulders, that's all ... [/QUOTE]
