Yep, and the "strength" a person has available to rack a slide can be affected by such things as arthritis and carpal tunnel syndrome. My "slightly built" wife has both. That's why she carries a Smith 380 Shield EZ. She would rather carry a Smith 9mm Shield EZ (like our
also "slightly built" daughter carries) but due to the arthritis in my wife's right thumb joint, she can't handle 9mm recoil in that small of a pistol.
BTW, there's little doubt that the arthritis in my wife's right thumb joint is at least partly the result of the thousands upon thousands of full-house 44 Magnum rounds she fired in a Ruger Super Blackhawk in IHMSA competitions back in the '80s. She was one of the top IHMSA "Production Revolver" competitors in the state back then, and she's still pretty darned good with a handgun. As long as my wife is physically able to operate a handgun, and said handgun doesn't hurt her when it goes off, I'd bet good money she could outshoot most of the males here with it. "Improper technique" my eye!
