Solution for folks who can't retract a slide

[BrianK]

I saw this in the latest Am' Rifleman and thought, "What a fantastic solution.". As some people age they find it more and more difficult to operate a semi-auto. This removes any requirement to operate the slide of a semi-auto. Or you can if you wish since it's still a semi-auto. The Girsan mc 14t. The woman in the video looks like it's the first time she's ever fired any gun, but other than that...

Full size semi-auto, .380 (not my first choice), no slide racking; It's made for older folks. Maybe others?

read my mind... used to have a Beretta, I think it was a .22 cal I took in trade for something.

I'll push the pistol forward as I grab the slide and pull backwards. Seems to work for my arthritic hand's. On my 9mm. Just my 2 mags

Thanks, I didn't know. Whenever older folks and slides are mentioned it's always the effort to retract that's discussed (or so it seems) the tip barrel solution is so common sense.
