Hi Richard and welcome. The GX4 is a moderate effort racking pistol. My wife and daughter have no issues with it whatsoever. Cheers, stay safe and enjoy!

Taurus pistols are average difficulty to rack the slide... however I would advise that if you have difficulty racking the slide due to hand strength issues, a compact / micro may not be the best choice as they have much more noticeable recoil than a service / full size pistol

If you eat your Spinach you'll have no problems racking it!! Buuuut, you might consider the M&P Shield Ez then for those who want the smoothest, easiest racking!! https://www.budsgunshop.com/product_info.php/products_id/714028172/smith+%26+wesson+shield+2.0+ez+9mm+8rd+thumb+safety+x2+bag
