Racking the Pistol Slide: Technique Not Strength
Several females and some males have complained over the years to me in my firearms classes that they cannot "rack the slide" on pistols, due to their weak hand strength and grip. Older males and females over the age of 60 have said they cannot use a pistol because of their age and related medical condition, like arthritis or joint tenderness. New shooters have demonstrated on the range that they are too gentle with a pistol and are afraid of slide "bite" to definitively and aggressively rack the slide as they should. Shooters cannot operate a semi-automatic pistol efficiently for loading, unloading, and clearing malfunctions without racking the slide properly and quickly. Racking the slide simply means manipulating and moving the slide back and forth on its guide rails. There are many ways and considerations for racking the slide. Competitors and plinkers alike have said and demonstrated that they cannot optimally rack the slide to perform reloads. Some have become so discouraged and thought about actually giving up practicing, shooting, or even not using guns anymore. Others have concluded that they have no choice and must use a revolver, rather than a semi-automatic pistol, for concealed carry purposes because they cannot rack the slide. But, revolvers have their own limitations and considerations. Husbands have contacted me asking me about pistol recommendations with easy to rack slides for their wives. So racking the slide is an important topic and we all must know how to perform it effectively.

What if the Newspaper Exposed Your Address?
Last week I was interviewed by the Huffington Post about marriage and guns. The interview was about how spouses handle it when one spouse is into guns and the other is against guns.

I'm not going to go into the interview here because awhile back I wrote an article about "How to Make Your Spouse to Like Guns".

But the reason I mention the Huffington Post is because yesterday at the very top of their website was the headline, "Targeted Anger: Staff at paper that pinpointed gun owners threatened, intimidated."
