Bodyguard 2.0 Slide Hard to Rack

[agksimon]

Like most others, I find the Bodyguard 2.0 slide really hard to rack. I took a chance and purchased and installed a Talon grip for the rear of the slide and boy is it a game changer. After cleaning, installing and using the heat gun per the instructions, I let it cool. It makes a huge difference in racking the slide.

Just curious....does your's show either of the other 2 main issues associated with this handgun? That being the front sight left or right of center and the front and rear guide rails being out of alignment. The slide racking should ease up a bit after break in and usage....probably about 300 rounds...Saw one in the gun store Sat and the slide was not really a problem.

The Talon grip on the rear of the slide made a big difference. I have less than 200 rounds but I don't notice it taking less force to rack the slide.

Slide rails are fine on mine and my sights were centered, but I changed them out and they're still centered and shoots to POA.

Mine was the same - very hard to rack. Probably due to my old hands. I even sent it back and all they said is that couldn't duplicate the problem. Yes I tried the "easy racker" and it is a bit clumsy but it works. Then I put on the Talon grips and I really like them as I can rack the slide.

What sights did you use? Thanks.
As regards racking the slide, an overhand grasp makes a huge difference, along with a push/pull motion. The BG is a day at the beach, compared to a Kahr!
