Smoker11911 QUESTION
Posted this on the pistol site...no response. May be the wrong place. Will someone tell me the correct nomenclature for the device used to make pulling the slide back easier on a Mod.80 1911? I have one on one of mine now, but need a second. Can't for the life of me remember what it's called. Thanks smoker

I can't picture what you are referring to. Is this something that is attached to the slide?

Curiosity got the best of me and I had to go look up a "slide racker".

You missed a few spots. I can see at leats 3 areas where you can "swiss cheeze" it even more...
