[QUOTE="ProBusiness, post: 1222174, member: 6145"] i have both a XD SC and a glock 27 and have not noticed any difference. I teach a woman's beginning handgun class and can tell you that a lot of women struggle with racking the slide. It is pretty simple - if a woman is strong enough than she can do it. What I mean is that they have to already possess the strength. Three woman I have taught ride horses - they had good strength in their hands and did not have trouble racking the slides. I had a 20 y/o woman in the class the other day and she could not rack a single gun - regardless of caliber or size. She could not even rack a .22 caliber semi. I think you have to ask yourself - does the woman want to shoot a semi, and if so, will she work to learn how to operate it and build her strength. But a bigger question is will she keep her strength up just so she can manage a semi? I would hate for a women to depend on a semi for self defense and then not be able to work it. [/QUOTE]
