I might throw up a video to youtube showing my answer to this article.
That article is pretty much 2nd day stuff. Not following the slide was tricky but that was like 20 years ago.. I just remember it because I refer to it all the time when I’m training someone else.
I can rack these guns. Power isn’t the problem with the models I mentioned.
Kahr is a machine shop, first and foremost. Their machining and die are so fresh and so accurate that the slide serrations may as well be razor blades. Owwey.
The thin CZ/Jericho slide is an indian burn everytime too.
My Beretta open slide just pinches every goddam thing on my hand too. But it’s so easy to actuate that I don’t really dig pieces of my fingers out of the serrations anymore (It’s 40 years old this year)
I just went over the video with the HK P30 which is another grip killer. When I did, I actually found a finger positioning that I do to get the leverage necessary.
I should post it up, it might help someone.
