The handi-racker seems useful when everything is calm, but I probably would not want to use a gun for SD that I couldn't rack without it.

(I only have 1 hand, and my 1 hand has arthritis .. so I rack with my other forearm/wrist usually.... or belt/shoe/pants pocket/edge of a building/table/dumpster etc etc so those extra devices I don't carry with me concealed still seem useless for me,in that it requires 2 hands and I'd have to run home to get it)
Nice gadget for the range for those with two hands that have time to use it, who need it because they didn't learn the best ways to handle the situation ... BUT a better solution would be to put tactical sights on like Advantage Tactical Sights so you don't have to remember to bring that device along. And Better would be to learn the right way to handle the issue during an emergency situation, then you can also do it at the range or elsewhere too.

Second choice, if you wanted sights that allow racking the slide but slower aim and more likely to catch on clothes accidentally, than Advantage Tactical Sights would be sights like "The Ledge" (or other tactical sights) and practicing various one-handed drills if you have the right sights using the back of the knee to hold a gun/belt/pocket/shoe/holsters edge etc Like I said, I use my wrist/forearm on the back of Advantage Tactical Sights Rear sight ... it's the easiest and fastest... and doesn't hurt like some do.
