Saw it in a magazine. What do you guys think? Anybody has one ? Tried one? Useful or useless ? Thank you

I have no sort of formal training, but am aware of some methods... for the majority of the racking one handed off clothing or cover, dont they teach you to use your rear sight? Just seems like it'd get caught easily, not to mention the excess weight (however minimal) (though that may help limp-wristing?)... just my .02

rack it using the heel of your shoe.

Warning! If the sights are used to rack the slide against a stationary object, be aware that stock GLOCK sights are plastic of a less than rugged type. Improper use of the sights may render the weapon inoperable.

 

 

BTW a single sided racking assit has been arround for awhile.

so, will it make it inoperable only because you can't aim when the sights break? Or is there something on the slide that is somehow connected directly to the firing mechanism? I would think as long as it goes bang and the bullet goes where you point it at, it's operable.

Tommy - I'm considering lack of sights inoperable. Then again if the sights break at some point it just may not fully cycle.

But thinking about this why would you rack a GLOCK like that. The pistol is designed to be carried w/ a chambered round, you go to slide lock on an empty mag. Give me a senario when you would need to rack the slide on a GLOCK one handed. I'm not bustin your balls, I just can't think of one.

when you get shot in one arm and you limp wrist it and jam up the gun because you are only one handed now?

One handed glock racking without using an aftermarket handle or pressing the slide against anything:

OK I'll buy that. Shooting weak hand esspecially.

How many soar shoulders/elbows are there going to be by tonight?

PK - Stock up on GLOCK replacement sights...

Nothjing hooks to the sight. It replaces the backplate.

I was referring to folks trying to rack using the sights as per my previous post.

okay.

 

I've used the sights on the heel during training, but it was on a steel haandgun with steel sights.
