1. An assistive device for operating a slide portion of a pistol comprising:

  • a first cam lock for receiving and frictionally engaging a first side of a slide portion of a pistol;

    a counter structure juxtaposed to the first cam lock forming a compression channel, wherein the compression channel ranges in a width from a minimum channel width to a maximum channel width during the frictional engagement, and wherein a height of the first cam lock is equal to or less than one half of the minimum channel width; and

    a cam lock position biasing device which holds the first cam lock in a first position producing the minimum channel width, wherein a slide portion of a pistol may be received in a first direction within the compression channel to engage a first side of the slide portion by the first cam lock and a second side of the slide portion by the counter structure thereby moving the first cam lock into a position producing a channel width greater than the minimum channel width and equal to or less than the maximum channel width thus engaging the first and second sides of the slide portion, and wherein a compressive force is applied between the first cam lock and the counter structure responsive to passing the slide portion in a direction opposite of the first direction through the compression channel.
