There have been a few posts lately about how we Forum members are aging and losing some of our abilities with firearms. Reduced grip strength from arthritis or other causes seems to be a common problem, and I'm afraid that I've joined the club! I don't have any issues holding or shooting my handguns, but racking the slide has become more difficult for my left hand. This is particularly true with my smaller pistols, like my EDC: PC Shield Plus 9mm. I read some Posts from members about adding a Talon Grips slide grip to their pistols for non-slip racking (almost like skateboard tape), so I sent Talon my $10 and they sent me a laser cut slide grip for my PC Shield Plus. It was pretty quick and easy to install, and it really helps me rack the slide. I'm very pleased with the slide grip, and will probably get one for my M&P 10mm 2.0 slide. Just FYI. Enjoy!

Talons are good. Slide Spider is a slightly different idea, but works the same way.
There is also a gizmo called a "Recover Tactical Slide Rack Assist" that is simply a set of "ears" that attach to the slide with a simple clamshell design. Sort of like the ears on an EZ. No modifications needed to the gun. I had one on a Shield some years ago and it worked very well. I see they're still listed on Amazon, so if anyone is interested, you might take a look at them. About $20.00.

This slide racker works very well for me, on my Bodyguard 2.0

I've put them on a couple of guns and they work very well. In fact, I just ordered two more.
