That's an SV 45 degree racker milled for the Czechmate. I tried heating and bending the stock CM racker, only lasted about 500 rounds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They said clamp the flat in a vice, wrap the handle portion in tape to protect the finish, and bend it over with a hammer. Thanks, I'll look in to that.

Ive just started shooting open about 6 weeks ago. So, that being said. Im super noob. Lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am here for you buddy. my Atlas gun has the ziggy on it, and my brothers open gun has it to. I like it cause its out of the way. I never liked slide rackers in the past but i am starting to become a fan of them... the fact that i don't have to look down to rack it like i used to is nice once its practiced. I have a lot of videos showing me turn the gun sideways to grab the slide and rack it. didn't realize it was costing me a bunch of time and i had to take my eyes off the target. anyway good luck again hope you find what you need.

Thank you great infos @Blurryvisions, yes i too turn the gun to the side. Yesterday, i managed to get a slightly used 2011 custom open with slide racker installed on the weak side. I am really liking it on that side. I now I'll be keep czechmate as a back up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
