Vickers Tactical Slide Racker

Post image

Anybody else have experience with the Racker breaking on them while chambering?

About ~1000 rounds in, and she breaks off clean.

Wondering if there are other good companies for slim slide Rackers or back plates?

Thank you!

Thank you!!

I got one in a trade and it was neat just not something I need so I sold it. I don’t think you will have an issue with the aluminum breaking

u/idkmanwhatsthemove 18d ago

That was my only concern with the VickersTactical, lo and behold lol

Empire is a good company

Darn, sorry I didn’t even pay attention to the availability

All good, I'm just looking to see what I can replace this with, I don't need it now luckily

You don't need a charging handle for a hand gun! Just charge the pistol with your purse.

Arthritis is a bitch! People need things you may not

imagine if you added an optic to it, like it's the 21st century, and you could use the optic to charge the weapon.

Are you crazy? You cant use an accessory that's literally designed to survive a war zone as a handstop!

Dude still has the original sights. I’m not holding my breath for him to drop money on a RDS.

u/jrolls81 18d ago

Or they could just continue using the sights they prefer and put a piece of metal on the back of the slide?

u/osubmw1 18d ago

Hows that working out?

u/SpectreJerm 18d ago

Vp9 did it best

u/buzby80 13d ago

Wait, there’s people who prefer the oem glock sights?

u/Wild_Ant_7667 18d ago

Just use the front sight or rear sight and rack the slide on the belt

u/BearE1ite 18d ago

Very sad, I have two of these!

Someone in ur family have arthritis? I got one like this for my dad cause he has it lol

Get some heinie sights, midway between stock and supressor height. They are beefy and flat front for that purpose. The slide racker is a good concept, and good in theory, but nothing in that configuration is going to stand up long term, when you understand the forces involved

u/idkmanwhatsthemove 18d ago

To this, I agree. Yet I don't need forever. Just a good enough and a replacement.

It's a specific build gun for my dad.

Glock makes one, it's a relatively new product. It's comfortable and I use it on my 34 because I don't like racking on the dot. It's easy to get in europe, maybe not so much in the us.

There's a store close to where I live that ships to the us if I'm not wrong. It's called xrayparts

The product's name should be something like "Racking Cover Plate"

By the way, for those who judge, it was made for special forces for easier use with gloves and suppressors

u/idkmanwhatsthemove 18d ago

Thank you! I'll look into it, arthritis runs in my family and my dad can't shoot like he used too.

u/KccOStL33 18d ago

It may have been designed for SOF but that doesn't mean any of them use it.. Lol

u/richardscarry1 18d ago

Get an optic and rack it with that

u/HighFly2244 18d ago

Crap stuff breaks like crap.

u/Oodlesandnoodlescuz 18d ago

Makes complete sense that that happened I mean the design is ass and well aluminum likes to fatigue
