Now my mother can't really manipulate the slide due to her arthritis and general waning of hand strength in her older years. I got to thinking I've seen those wonky bits hanging off Ruger MkIIIs' and such, I wonder if anyone makes them for the Shield.
After skulking about the interwebs I found someone that does in fact make something on the lines that I'm looking for and the name is TacRack. So I order the part and install it(all of maybe ten seconds) and low and behold she can rack it. While it isn't the panacea I was hoping for and it is still a little difficult for her she lit up like a little kid on Christmas morning.
The main issue she has is it's just a hard metal grip and it digs in a bit, but I figure I'll grab some flexseal or something and hit it with a coat or two to soften it a bit hoping it'll do the trick. If that doesn't do it I'll get her some gloves to help pad it more. She can't wait to get back to the range now.
Still though with the amount of shit she has going on in her life currently it was great to see her smile and light up again, even if it was fleeting.
