That is a good question. I rack the slide by pinching the top of the slide between my thumb and pointer finger ahead of the barrel hood. Basically where the slide lightening cuts are on the front of the slide. So those slide cuts are dual purpose, weight reduction and serration for gripping the slide to rack it. It takes a lot less time to rack the gun and rebuild your grip doing it the way I described. Verses the "Sling Shot" method of grabbing the slide from the back then having to move your hand back up front to rebuild your grip.
