[QUOTE="ProBusiness, post: 1247264, member: 6145"] I teach a woman's beginning handgun class and run into this problem all the time. For some women, i would say they probably will not be able to rack a slide, i am talking 20 y/o - 80 y/o. They just have lot led a life to develop the strength in their arms. For some women, they have the strength if they learn a technique that works for them. for some women, they have plenty of strength. I have worked with women that handle horses and racking a slide is no more than a thought for them. The way I see it, for a middle age woman, if they do not have the strength to rack a slide, they probably won't change their life style to develop and keep the strength needed to rack the slide. I am talking about women that cannot rack a .22. Sure, they may work on their strength when they first get the new gun, but will keep the strenth up? will a glock help, i don't know, go to a store and let her try. [/QUOTE]
