EZ Slide for Hellcat 9mm?

[Ojstorm]

I recently injured my left hand and having trouble racking my slide on my Hellcat 9mm... are there any slide assemblies replacements to be able to rake my slide much easier??

Does your Hellcat allow a Red-Dot?
If so, many easily use the red-dot its self to rack the slide with your palm.

 

[HansGruber]

No, there aren’t.

You could try a lighter recoil spring, but that could affect reliability.

Unless it's going to be permanent i would make sure it's loaded and only use if necessary. If its going to be a long time I would look for an easier racking gun like the Smith EZ series.

If your Hellcat does not have OSP, or Domar idea of NSZ slide racker may not work then their are companies who will mill your slide to take a red-dot of your choice.
The other good thing about a red-dot if you get a reflex it will help with our older eyes.

I have arthritis in my left hand and use my red dot to rack a round on my Hellcat. Works well for me.

 

[HansGruber]

Anything you use your red dot to do, vis-a-vis slide manipulation, you can use the rear sight for as well.

I don't know about you but those iron sights would cut into my smooth female hands. Hell no.

Picked up the EZ for the wife much easier for her hands.

Use your belt.

Or the seam of your pocket.

LOL
I am ole school
I regularly use a squeeze to keep my fingers and grip strong

I have some disabled friends who love shooting and they do various exercises to strengthen anything that needs to be strengthen.

If you aren’t practicing one handed failure drills…

Start.

Lexie, do you have contact info for any of the companies you referenced for milling slides?

 

[Lexie__M]

If you aren’t practicing one handed failure drills…

Start.

In my case, I am truly fully ambidextrous. I can easily write with either hand but they look different, I use mouse L hand and number keys R hand, tools which ever hand works best to do the job.

I train: single hand, Left hand, right hand, Two hands: L hand on grip and R hand on grip. Eye depends on which one I am shooting.

It is one of those things your are born with.

Lexie, do you have contact info for any of the companies you referenced for milling slides?

One,
Milling services you want two things
1- companies who do milling for firearms
2-personal accounts of those who had used those companies

I would recommend:
I would search here for Milling first
If no help, then
Go to Sigtalk.com
Join them
Go to forums, under guns, search Milling or milling slides
There you will find many others personal encounters with various milling companies.

Let us know how things go

You don’t get it.

You are still assuming you’ll have both hands available.

Stop assuming.

In English: "single hand, Left hand, right hand", = means, only your single hand, only.

 

[HansGruber]

In English: "single hand, Left hand, right hand", = means, only your single hand, only.

So, you practice single hand reloads?

From the slide forward?

You see, this gets back to my earlier comment, about using belts, pocket seams, etc…and you giggled something about being ambidextrous.

Ambidextrous doesn’t mean crap when you only have one hand and need to do failure drills.

Hence, the using your belt, pocket seam, etc to manipulate the slide using the rear sight.

Which will work just as well as an optic.

Which won’t tear up your girly hands, as you initially alluded to.
