Hard To Rack (Read 288 times)

10-97_10-98 YaBB Newbies I Love YaBB 2! Posts: 8	Hard To Rack 07/14/10 at 16:58:02 I just bought a P3-AT. I found it very difficult to rack the slide. In fact, when the slide slipped out of my hand, it caused an accidental discharge. Are there different springs available or does it loosen up after firing? I am not pleased with this condition and will sell the gun if this condition cannot be changed.

How did you have a Negilgent discharge? releasing the slide so that it slams as quicky as possible is the recomnded method to load the first round. the rounds loaded following firing will have the slide even faster

AD ? Unless the firing pin was stuck this sounds like a ND. Keep finger off trigger while racking slide.

3.Keep your finger off the trigger until your sights are on target (and you have made the decision to shoot).
4.Be sure of your target and what is beyond it.

As far as how hard it is to rack, it gets easier with use. Racking the slide is not about strength.
It is all about technique.

Thanks guys for the advice. Sounds as if I need to change my technique rather than change horses.
