Slide-racker fitting on STI Trubore .....

[Stefano]

Please, I need help to forwarding to a friend of my who is serching a solution for fitting a slide-racker on a STI Trubore in 9mm; due to the fact that on this gun the rear of the slide (where you have to place the slide-racker) is low-profile and there's less material, can anybody suggest a good solution ?

Where I can find a racker that fits for this gun ?

Thanks in advance.

The dovetail for the racker does not need to be seated fully into the slide so if the cut is only as deep as half the thickness of the racker it will still work. Of course the sidewinder is the best choice.

Depends on how far up the lightening cut is. If you still have around .8-1" until the breachface, put it a bit behind the breachface. I'd go at least .300.

If not, you might want to call Brandon at SV and have him get your one of their stainless rackers with a custom 45° bend. You could then cut the dovetail vertically on the side of the slide. Just don't cut down into the slide rails!
