I have a XD9SC and my wife is unable to rack the slide. The only other semiauto I have is a Beretta Tomcat which has a slide that is hard to rack as well. My question is, do smaller caliber firearms usually have a slide that is easier to rack because of a lighter recoil spring, etc? I need to take a trip with her to the gun store, but am wondering if for example the slide on a Walther P22 is easy to rack because it is a 22, etc.
