a fastening device for fastening the securing arm within the upper tine and the lower tine of the cam end;

wherein said firearm slide assist device is configured to attach to a firearm such that the cam end provides enough leverage to easily rack the firearm.

2. The firearm slide assist device of claim 1 wherein the cam end further comprises a cam surface having a serrated face portion.

3. The firearm slide assist device of claim 1 wherein the securing arm further comprises an upper horizontal leg and a lower vertical leg.

4. The firearm slide assist device of claim 3 wherein the lower vertical leg further comprises an interior gripping surface.

5. The firearm slide assist device of claim 3 wherein the upper horizontal leg further comprises an aperture for receiving there through the fastening device.

6. The firearm slide assist device of claim 3 wherein the upper horizontal leg further comprises a rounded end.

7. The firearm slide assist device of claim 1 wherein the grasping end is generally rectangular in shape and the upper tine has a guard surface.

8. A firearm slide assist device comprising:

a handle having a grasping end and a cam end with the cam end having an upper tine having an aperture and a lower tine having an aperture;

a securing arm being inserted between the upper tine and the lower tine for connection to the cam end, the securing arm having a lower vertical leg and an upper horizontal leg with the horizontal leg having an adjustment slot; and

a fastening device for fastening the securing arm within the upper tine and the lower tine of the cam end;

wherein said firearm slide assist device is configured to attach to a firearm such that the cam end provides enough leverage to easily rack the firearm.

9. The firearm slide assist device of claim 8 wherein the adjustment slot comprises a generally U-shaped slot having a longer leg, a shorter leg, and a central leg between the legs.

10. The firearm slide assist device of claim 9 wherein the adjustment slot allows the securing arm to be positioned in a first position in the longer leg and a second position in the shorter leg.

11. The firearm slide assist device of claim 9 wherein when the securing arm is positioned in the longer leg a first space is provided between the lower vertical leg and the cam end and when the securing arm is positioned in the shorter leg a second space is provided between the lower vertical leg and the cam end.

12. The firearm slide assist device of claim 8 wherein the cam end further comprises a cam surface having a serrated face portion.
