slide assist for auto pistol
- Thread starter c.j.sikes

I know some guys work on drills for reloading one handed. Perhaps you can borrow from that.
Some have sights that can be "caught" on the edge of a table, doorway, etc, and you can push opporate the slide.
It also might be possible to make something like a bowler's wrist brace concept but with a "hook" at the wrist or in the palm area that will catch on the slide in front of the rear sight.
I think it would just take some imagination.

could probably make something that would use the rear sight mount based on what platform you choose. actually it wouldnt be a hard project if you know anyone with a mill.
OP, if you already were aware of possible changes to method, I don't know where you can find a slide assist, sorry.
OTOH, I'll assume you've been taught variations on the sling-shot including punching through with the shooting hand, and cocking the hammer first to get rid of mainspring weight. Then again, assuming only causes problems, so just in case - you can check http://corneredcat.com for possible help with technique.
My mother has weakening hands... She found the taller slide of a SIG to be easier to manipulate than some of the shorter (vertically speaking) slides on other guns. The CZ, with slide in frame, was not viable for her.
Also, full-size guns, with larger slides (and more inertia to damp recoil) tend to have easier recoil springs to overcome.
Changing to a lighter caliber, in similar gun, can also help.
Good luck,
M

Here's, once again, the link to how to rack a slide with weak hands:

Most open pistols, for competition, that use scopes, are fitted with slide assists.
Unfortunately they usually fit in the rear sight dove tail.

You are looking for something I think is called a "slide racker," I know they exist for 1911s. IIRC they replace the rear sight in the dovetail and provide a lateral extension you can grab to facilitate racking the slide.
