Default Has Anyone Tried a Slide Racker On Their Pistol Yet?

I have been thinking of getting a slide racker for my pistols and was curious if anyone has ever installed one on their Hi-Point yet. If so, which one did you use?
Im one of those old timers thats has arthritis and sometimes, it's just plain hard to rack the slides.

Thanks for any help you can offer.

Only Slide Racker's I have seen have been for Ruger MK series and Browning Buckmarks. I know of no company that makes something like this for Hi Points. I suppose you could have someone with a milling machine make one... Got a feeling it would cost as much as your pistol did though...

It would be no problem to kick one out with hand tools over an evening. File a dovetail proper size for the rear sight in a piece of stock and cut a sight notch.

Thanks guys.
I saw one on a Springfield a week ago. He said the name, and I wrote it down but washed it with the clothes later that evening (DOH!)
I have seached around the internet and found a few, but same thing as you said....nothing for a Hi Point...yet. I'll keep on searching. If I do find one, I will post it so if anyone else needs one, they can get it.

Thanks - T
