You really a tough girl G!! LOLI hope she finds something she is comfortable with. When I first started shooting Glocks, I had a really hard time racking the slide also and it just took time and practice (and building hand strength using hand exercise grips) to learn to do it properly. I also do a lot of dry fire practice to help with my control.
Yes and no. We cannot purchase them personally. They have to be purchased by the Chief or Sheriff for departmental use unly but can be issued as a Back Up Gun (BUG).I've got LE friends. Can they acquire one?
Both of these issues is training and can be resolved. You can also add a single strip of skateboard grip tape the the top of her slide forward of the rear sight and that would reduce her issue with the slide.I've got a G23 and a G26. She has trouble controlling them and racking the slide is difficult.
They make the G36 which is the one and only "Slimline" in .45ACP. The G36 has not been a stellar performer as far as sales, so they never made any more single stack pistols and I'd be surprised if they ever do.I don't want to start a new thread for a similar question, but does Glock ever plan on making a "single stack" weapon for concealed carry? I know that one of Glock's selling points is that all magazines work with other models of the same caliber. This would change that, but as I DO love my Glock 26 (gen4) I sometimes wish it was more slim. The only pistol I ever owned in single stack was the Ruger LCP and I hated it. One exploded to pieces in my friend's hand. Ruger quickly replaced the gun free of charge even though they blamed it on a "hot loaded" round. Good thing he didn't get hurt.
