My daily (Conceal) carry is a Taurus PT22. My Wife has Multiple Sclerosis, and doesn't have the strength in her hands to rack a slide. We decided to each carry the same weapon so that either one of us could pick up the other's weapon and operate it with muscle memory. So the tilt up barrel of the Taurus was a great option!!! Once you snap it back down, the weapon is ""Racked"". We have a matched pair. 8 hollow points in the mag, and 1 in the chamber. Not much stopping power, but cheap to practice with. (If you can find the ammo.)
