muncie21 Posted March 26, 2019 Share Posted March 26, 2019 I picked up a newer DVC in .40 and immediately noticed that the scalloping at the rear of the slide does not provide as much grip as the slots machined on the Edge slides. When racking the slide during an unloaded start, I use the overhand technique, however even with this I have to grip the slide much harder and more carefully than I do with my Edge. Has anyone else encountered this? Any way to fix aside from grip tape or machining the slide? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MJinPA Posted March 27, 2019 Share Posted March 27, 2019 I always use the front serrations. More area to grab and less chance of your hand getting cut up by the rear sight. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

waktasz Posted March 27, 2019 Share Posted March 27, 2019 The gun is empty when you pull it back so there's nothing to hit the ejector. To answer the original question...grip tape Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aiden Posted March 27, 2019 Share Posted March 27, 2019 I rack from the front by smacking my palm against the top of the slide. Serrations or not, the pro grip palm has a high enough coefficient of friction to manipulate the slide. I've done this with naked slides, cerakoted slides, and Glocks. I do shoot 6 inch guns though so maybe that extra inch makes handling it easier... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
