Thank you, Marty!!!
Thank you, Marty!!!
Is that new production, or just what's left from previous shipments? I sure had a heck of a time at the Baretta website trying to figure out if the tip-up in .380 is still available nor not, and eventually decided maybe not.We sell those at the store
Except if you have a FTF/FTE, right?No need to rack the slide ever.

Check this out: http://corneredcat.com/RunGun/rack.aspxMarty, do you have a personal recommendation for little old ladies? My wife doesn't quite qualify, but close. I would love for her to be able to carry a semi-auto, but she can't rack the slide of my .45 . Any suggestions?

Oh, nice! That was the first thing I saw when I turned on the computer this morning. Nice why to start my day.Ajet wasn't in the military, he was in the Navy.
See if she can rack the slide using her body strength instead of just forearm strength. Hold the pistol close to the body and push the gun forward instead of pulling the slide back.
I was wondering if anyone would catch that. The answer is no, because the Beretta 86 is a blow back only, racking the slide will not clear the chamber, because there is no extractor. That is one strike against the gun. But, in the copy I have, it has never failed to eject, (likely because it doesn't rely upon an extractor to get the job done).Trigger,

Marty,

The strength issue in the handsafter surgery :cuss:is why I quit carrying a 1911 and went with a 44 Special revolver. Same ballistics without the slide issue.asforme wrote:See if she can rack the slide using her body strength instead of just forearm strength.

Thanks for the info. We'll try it today. She lost a lot of strength in that arm due to an operation about ten years ago, and never gained it back.
Edit: Good information on that link, BTW. Thanks.
