What Handi-Racker® Customers Are Saying
These reviews came from customers who purchased Handi-Racker through Amazon. Their stories explain the product better than any advertisement ever could.
“Great for Hand Pain”
One customer explained exactly why easier slide operation mattered when he unexpectedly needed it.
A gout flare-up in my left hand made it extremely painful to chamber a round. Your product makes it extremely easy to chamber a round when needed. Thank you for such a quality product.
A Tool That Is There When It Is Needed
Handi-Racker changes the motion from pulling the slide backward to pushing the pistol forward against a firm, stable surface.
Customers Tell the Story Best
Some needed help because of arthritis. Others wanted better control, easier cleaning or a tool that worked with more than one pistol.

Worth the Price

It Works Great

Three Themes Appear Again and Again
Different customers have different reasons for buying, but their experiences often have a lot in common.
Push Instead of Struggle to Pull
Customers appreciate being able to use the stronger forward motion of the arm instead of relying only on finger grip and hand strength.
Continue Using a Familiar Pistol
Several reviewers describe being able to operate, clean or enjoy a pistol again without depending on another person to work the slide.
Help From the Family Behind It
Customers regularly mention speaking directly with Chris and receiving personal help with sizing, questions and ordering.
“These are honest people who you want to give your business to and can trust.”
