Glock slide pull ring

[thperez1972]

Does anyone have any experience, good or bad, with after market pull rings for glock slides? I'm looking for a way to help someone rack the slide on a gen 4 g19. Replacing the g19 with something else is not an option right now. It may never be. I've seen one like the one in the picture below and one that clamps on the slide and uses the outside serrations. I've also seen a pull with a handle. I'm not keen on the version that replaces the cover although it's really only because it's putting pressure on a part in a way it wasn't meant for. I don't have anything to back up my worry and I'm sure the parts can handle it.

Could their biomechanics of manipulation be improved. I have taught more than one post carpal tunnel surgery patients how to rack the slide by working close into their chest, where power is made, and pushing the gun outwards while holding the slide in place near the chest. It was a big improvement from the traditional.

That can be worked on but I don't believe that alone would solve the issue.

Get some good sights like Trijicon hd, ect and can rack them on belt, shoe, table, ect in a hasty situation and save from possibly having somthing extra in a gun to break or get hung up during a situation…

But that would prob work good for a range gun for sure if you are having gripping/hand issues, the same thing is very popular on the Ruger 22/45 series of pistols

While it's possible for the loop to get hung up on something, that design seems much less likely than the charging handles that stick out. It's for an older woman who has recently become a widow. She's on a fixed income and cannot readily go out any purchase something new. At this point, her choices are the g19, a 1911, and a kel-tec pmr30. She is familiar with pistols but simply lacks the grip to overcome the spring in the g19. The use case would primarily be home defense.

Might be better to post one up on here for her and trade it for say little 5 shot revolver like a Ruger… would be a lot easier to handle and manipulate

But the ring would prob be the easiest and fastest fix to the problem at hand

There are numerous companies that make slide rackers that replace the rear back plate. Ambidextrous and single side are available.

NDZ, Tango Down Vickers, Springer Precision, Chamber Max TA-1, etc. Recover Tactical makes one that is kind of large.

I put one on a G19 for my daughter when she started shooting. Worked well for her until here grip strength and technique improved.

I have seen one of the 3d printed plate replacement slide assist devices fail. Some one may make an alloy device less prone to split.

I 3d print stuff for my holiday light shows (lights synced to music) and I know how durable they are. I wouldn't trust a 3d printed part for something like this.

If she doesn't have the ability to rack the slide stay away from the LCR 22LR. It has an anti AD trigger.

Look for the ones that are stainless steel reinforced injection molded glass & nylon or those machined from anodize 6061 - T6 Aluminium with 20 RC hardness.

Recover tactical makes a bolt on do dad that interfaces with the rear serrations.
