Thank you all for the responses. I wasn't really clear on the original post. My wife knows how to shoot very well. I was asking if you guys new of a great handgun with a slide that was a little easier to rack than others. We ended up buying a couple this weekend. A SW SD40VE and a Taurus PT111 G2. Messed with both and she can rack them. So we are going to take them to the range next weekend to fire a bunch down range. That k you all for the answers.

Springfield Xds. 9mm or 45.

No external safety to worry about.

Just a quick question since you mention the main problem is racking the slide . Just a couple hints . I have seen people mainly women hold the gun in their right hand and try to rack the slide with their left hand if they are right handed . I have to say this is totally wrong for man or woman . Proper quicker way is to hold the rack firmly with left hand and push the body forwards to rack . Right handed people are usually stronger with their right hand so only normal that you push with right hand and NOT pull with the left hand which is normally weaker . And if a person is left handed and shoots left handed then it would be opposite of a right handed person . When you get a chance try it and you'll see what i'm talking about .

If your in to 380's get a model 85 Berreta, tip up barrel and never rack the slide.


Yes! A Weatherby does kill them deader.
