sandflea316 Posted March 15, 2022 Share Posted March 15, 2022 Does anyone know of a slide racker that replaces the shadow 2 rear sight? I thought the Armory Craft one would fit but on their website it says it will not fit. Looking to build an open gun using a shadow 2 slide Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LuvDog Posted August 18, 2022 Share Posted August 18, 2022 A few passes with a file and it would probably fit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zzt Posted August 18, 2022 Share Posted August 18, 2022 I question the need for a racker. Only one of my last five Open guns has one. It is the last one I built as a backup. I decided to try one. IMO, it takes more effort and is slower than just grabbing the rear of the slide. The only time it is an advantage is on a table start if you don't have a thumb rest installed.

My slide lacks serrations due to being fully milled to remove weight. I can definitely see a use for a racker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
