Racking device for racking slide of semi-automatic pistol
First Claim
1. A racking device for racking a slide of a rackable pistol, the racking device comprising a frame defining an open slide channel and an open barrel channel that intersect with one another at an intersection, wherein:
- the open slide channel has a length and a width, comprises an entry end, an exit end, and opposing channel edges, and is configured to accommodate the slide of a rackable pistol, the exit end intersects with the open barrel channel, the open slide channel width decreases in a direction from the entry end toward the intersection along at least a portion of the length of the open slide channel, the opposing channel edges are separated by a decreasing separation distance, in a direction toward the intersection, along at least a portion of the length of the open slide channel, and the open slide channel is not closed-in by a wall along the entire length of a side thereof, andthe open barrel channel has a length, comprises an open barrel channel wall and opposing channel edges, and is configured to accommodate the barrel of a rackable pistol, the opposing channel edges being separated substantially equidistantly along the length of the open barrel channel and the open barrel channel is not closed-in by a wall along the entire length of a side thereof.

Abstract
A racking device is provided that can assist an individual with racking a pistol, using only one hand. The device includes a slide channel that narrows in a direction toward an intersection with a barrel channel. The narrowing enables the slide channel to receive any of a wide variety of pistols and to restrain the slide portion, or slide, thereof from moving past the intersection. The barrel channel is wide enough to accommodate the pistol barrel but not the slide. A pistol can be positioned in the slide channel and forced into the device so that the pistol barrel moves into the barrel channel while the slide is restrained by the slide channel, thereby racking the pistol with a single hand. A belt clip and a surface mount are also provided for mounting the device and stabilizing the device during use.
