One handed racking

This seems so unreal to me but I've seen a couple of videos with guys doing it.

If you believe that that is possible w/ a stock RSA Glock G23/36...?

Forgot to mention the girl only had one hand and was qualifying for a guard card/ exposed permit. I observed for several minutes that her instructor wasn't teaching her this and was racking it for her.

Okay, now I am mad. I was told I couldn't get an expose permit with my guard card because I cannot do two handed or weak handed shooting (gimp hand). The training place was hesitant and told me to contact BSIS, and they told me no.




Anyhow, for the OP, they make these loop things that attach to the slide (http://www.amazon.com/Glock-Tactical.../dp/B0052OOQJK) and frankly all you need then, even if you cannot use the gimp arm at all, is to catch the loop and something and push the grip forward.

Thanks for all the great suggestions! I've racked using my belt and my leg before but it just didn't feel safe. I'm gonna check out your suggestions.

A revolver seems like a safer solution. However, like anything, if you practice how to rack the slide with one hand, then you should be fine. Of course, loose clothing that could interfere with the method is not advisable.

OK, well how about Clipdraw?

It's a mounted clip holstering device:







Could you use something like this effectively?

Hey all. Just wanted to update this thread with my experiences.

The Shield was very tight when I first got it. It was very difficult to lock the slide back so I did some research online and the consensus seemed to be - go shoot it. So I took it to the range for the first time yesterday and it loosened up and worked like a charm. No problems with racking or locking the slide back thanks to the I.C.E. Claw sight.

Both guns ran flawlessly and were easy for a one handed user to operate. I seemed to shoot better with the Glock though.

Field stripping both guns was not difficult. The Glock is a little easier than the Shield. But, reassembly is where the difference lies. At least to me, the Glock was a little easier.

Hope some of this helps anyone else facing the same issues as me.
