The patent-pending Hatfield’s Tactical Racker for Glock pistols replaces the slide cover plate to improve the operator’s grip on the Glock slide.

Designed by Sam Hatfield, former gunsmith with the U.S. Army Marksmanship Unit, the Racker can also be hooked onto one’s belt or boot heel, making it easier to chamber a round with one hand. It is machined from billet aluminum, is anodized in black, silver, blue or red, and it offers universal fit for 9 mm Luger, .357 SIG and .40 S&W Glocks.

Another version for .45 ACP and 10 mm Auto Glocks is also available, with prices ranging from $47 to $50.
