Are you outgunned? Do you know your adversary? Many of us, including me take the bad guy for granted. We tend to think they are uneducated knuckleheads who can’t shoot. Think again.

Ben Branam discusses how to properly rack the slide on a semi auto pistol. A lot of new shooters have difficulties with this. Especially new shooters who are women who don’t have a lot of hand strength. Even some men don’t properly rack the slide even though they have plenty of strength. Some even cause malfunctions by doing it incorrectly.
