First the great about piece then the only negative I have. Buds is great all the way around if I want something I check them first from price, to a firearm that is obscure. Now my question is why is the slide so hard to manipulate it's almost impossible to rack the slide. Other than that the fit and finish is impeccable.

Not sure why manufacturers make their handguns so difficult move the slide. My father (84) has a pistol that he can't rack the slide. Basically, it's a safe queen.

Hi Mark and welcome. Agreed on all counts. a few strokes with fine grit sand paper and synthetic lube in the rail channels will go a long way with reducing rack effort. Unfortunately, Tisas uses a very high poundage recoil spring. Cheers, stay safe and enjoy!

Randy I. · Answer

a lot of them will need many cycles of the slide before they smooth up I remove the magazine and just rack the slide while watching tv. A lighter weigh recoil spring (if available) will make it easier to rack however it could cause more wear/battering of the gun
