I watched a short video on it from last years Shotshow. Looked like a good idea for folks who have extreme difficulty racking a slide. Unlike most other slide assist devices it is not permanently attached to the gun, so keeping track of it might be a small issue.

UPS delivered late this afternoon. This thing is great!! It works on all my semi-auto's from the full size 1911a1 & Ruger 9e to the micro Sig P365. If you have trouble racking a slide I strongly recommend getting one. This is the best thing to come along since the UpLula. :)

Now that I've watched the video I can see the effectiveness of this product. I have a friend whom loves to shoot but has great difficulty racking the slide. He has very little hand strength and this will help him tremendously.

Don't worry about getting older and still doing stupid stuff. You'll do the stupid stuff as always, only much slower. Hold my beer and watch this.......

For practice or target shooting...great!, however, I don't always carry chambered. I would not want to ask a thug to wait while I get out my racker. :o
Would rather just keep my racking hand strong, or, choose a different weapon. Did not know those existed though, so thanks Gunny.
