Cartridge racking device for an automatic pistol

Abstract

A cartridge racking device for an automatic pistol enables the user to grip the slide tightly, and rack the first round under difficult firing conditions. The device comprises a solid rectangular blister which is securely adhered to the side of the slide. One device is provided for each side of the slide. The device broadens the width of the slide and provides an easy-grip, high friction surface.
