Just jerk off random guys to build strength inyour grip and forearms. Its also a good workout for your immune system, so long as you don't get the big nasty (AIDS).

By knowing how to operate a firearm and not having weak little baby muscles.
>>29940164
Practice.
You didn't pinch the slide did you?

Sure is nu-male in here
>>29940164
Get gud
>>29940205
no, I had you use my whole hand, and 10% of my strength. It is not at all easy like it seems in video games.
I'm probably going to get LC9s I saw

Please take a firearms safety/beginners course
Then go buy a 1022 and go to an Appleseed clinic.
Trust me it'll be better in the long run. You want the fundamentals down pat before you start carrying around a ccw
>>29940251
ok, will do
nothing like betas from /v/ to make me feel like a man for being able to rack a fucking slide
>>29940223
>10% of my strength.
Is that supposed to be a lot?
For fucks sake, DO NOT buy a firearm until you have either taken a safety course, or been taught be a responsible friend/family member.
Related, if you happen to live in the Athens, Georgia area, I happen to be a certified firearms instructor.

My point remains, for fucks sake take a safety course. Ask at your local ranges/stores, they should be able to point you towards one.

>>29940271
you're welcome
>>29940256
If you don't want to buy a 1022 yet, the Appleseed folks will usually lend you one if you ask nicely
But check out you're local Armslist. Used 1022s can be found for under 200 bucks.
If you're really that new to firearms, go read the Boy Scout rifle merit badge book. There are PDFs of it online.
If it can teach 9 year olds to shoot well and understand safety and how guns work etc, then it can do the same for you

You sound like a massive puss. It's just a little scratch
You're weak and your bloodline is weak.
>>29940190
This is the advice /fit/ gave me and it worked really well
>>29940164
holy fuck.
I haven't laughed this hard in a long, long time.
I'm a NEET manlet and even i can rack a fucking slide and pull the charging handle on an AR
holy shit my sides don't fucking exist.
you need to go outside and work with your upper body.
start with small weights, like 5 pounders.
3 sets, 10 reps each. start with one weight, then one in each hand, then keep going up and up on the weight of them.
How the fuck are you that weak? Besides chronic masturbation the only mucle stimulation I get is playing RTS games and I have no trouble with funs.
>>29940305
lifting and cardio are painful. DOMS is unbearable and debilitating
Even women can rack a slide. OP must be a cancer patient
>>29940164
As with all things, if you practice, you will get better.
And in your case, stronger.
But were were all weak little dumbasses once. Hell, most of the shitposters on /k/ probably still are.
>>29940164
jeezus fuck man, nut up and do some work that hardens your hands up.
>>29940334
oh, that's what it is.
mom has that.
shit's terrible.
but, if you want to do more than just play vidya and jerk off, you need to do something.
start small. one pound weights. maybe 5 reps, keep working through the pain. pop some advils and keep rolling.
if you ever want to get into guns, you need that strength.
>>29940164
go back to fondling controllers you man child
>>29940358
>if you ever want to get into guns, you need that strength
Fuck, I really hope you're lying
Ignore these mean faggots OP.
Racking the slide is truely something you have to learn how to do. Don't be discouraged.
Remember, there are always revolvers!
And you'd better be reading through that merit badge handbook and signing up for an Appleseed course this minute, mister
>>29940164
>How do you guys do it?
By having a Y chromosome
>CZ75
couldn't have picked a worse gun for a beginner
CZs have a much smaller area on the slide to grip compared to most other guns
Roughly half as much area and has small sharp slide serrations compared to most other pistols
you're the definition of having been suckered by /k/
>>29940377
I already downloaded it. You're very helpful
Why the fuck are you guys falling for the most obvious bait thread of all time?
>>29940388
How's it b8? My best friend couldnt rack the slide when he started either, OP is within the realm of reality
>>29940371
no, i'm not.
here's why you need it;
>holding the gun
guns are heavy, especially some rifles. and holding them for extended periods of time (more than just 2 minutes of fingerfucking) gets tiring.
>operating
racking a slide, pumping a shotgun, pulling a charging handle, all of that shit. you need to have that strength
>carrying it
once your range day is done, you put the gun in the case and take it to the car. again, need strength to make that short yet somewhat strenuous journey.
>cleaning
some screws are tight, some pins are in there really good. you need to be able to clean it properly, and hence, strength.
this is coming from a guy with fucked knees, fucked shoulders, and mild arthritis, and even I can shoot.
don't give up.

>>29940411
worked for me.
its all about simple shit. you don't need this big p90x plan.
maybe add in some light cardio like jogging in place for say, 90 seconds at a time 5 times in a row would also be good.
but, do not give up. ever.
then you associate guns with pain and that will ruin it for you, and it will also prevent you from unfucking your body.
>>29940384
Yeah, but also HK, which are among the easiest. Especially if it was a VP9 what with the cocking wings and whatnot.
>>29940164
>get hurt on pump action slide release
Holy fuck OP, I'm an out of shape fatbody who can barely hold a gun steady if I'm at the range for more than an hour and I don't have this problem.
How fucking weak are you? Have your hands EVER done anything rough?

Seems like you need to do something with your hands other than holding a controller.
Ever change the oil in your car?
>weak as fuck and have hard time pulling slide
I still have a hard time accepting that this is physically even possible for anyone that isn't actively going through chemo as it happen or has otherwise been transported from Auschwitz to a gun store via wormhole
>>29940490
legitimate question;
have you ever left your house/room/basement for any reason OTHER THAN the following;
>food
>bathroom
>getting something
>>29940490
Try it out sometime (assuming you even have a car, anyway). You don't need to do it often, but you should be taking every opportunity to build strength in your hands/arms.
Plus I believe everyone who drives a car should at least know how to change the oil.
>>29940507
Yes. I like photography, DIY, and I wanted to do parkour but I'm not /fit/ enough.
>>29940164
I realize a lot of /k/ is being shitlords right now, but I recently bought a CZ75 SP01 and found the slide to be incredibly difficult to rack. Even an old Vet at one of the gun store I stopped in to pick up ammo from tried and it and commented it was stiff.
Took it home, cleaned the factory grease of it and oiled the slide and she was smooth as butter afterwards. If the CZ75 you handled was new, thats probably what you were dealing with.
If not, god help your manlet arms.
>>29940526
It was new, yes
>>29940223
You were trying to hard not to hurt the guns, and such only used enough force to work them, just. When you get your own gun, you won't be afraid of hurting it and will be my h better at manipulating it.
>>29940547
Oh man I fucked that up.
>>29940547
This is silly, because a gun is not made of glass. It beats the shit out of itself by its very nature, we humans can hardly hurt one just by handling it unless we're trying to.
>>29940164
Keep handling guns and your hands will get stronger and the skin will toughen up. Happened to me.
>>29940574
I am well aware of that, but Op isn't. He subconsciously doesn't want to harm property that isn't his. It's actually good of him. I assume all of this because the force required to rack the slide on a pistol is so small that, if he really was unable to do it, he surely wouldn't be able to function as a human being. And he said he only used 10% of his strength.
>>29940596
>He subconsciously doesn't want to harm property that isn't his
yeah that's true. You know how it goes, you break it you buy it.
>>29940596
This makes sense to me.
I remember how surprised I was by the amount of force it took to rack a handgun slide the first time I shot one, it was nothing like I was expecting from airshit and vidya. It wasn't actually hard to do, but I do recall feeling like I might break it.
Also, I think people tend to hold guns pretty loosely when they're new to them, kind out of a fear of them. I wasn't "scared" of the gun the first time I held one, but there was sort of a nervousness that came from knowing that I was holding a deadly weapon, and also a complicated and expensive thing, that didn't mesh easily with beating it around.
>>29940682
OP here. That describes how I felt.
>>29940611
>>29940682
>>29940709
See? I used to feel the same way.
to be fair, cz75's have smaller slide area due to the design and the factory hammer spring is pretty stiff.
>>29940164
>>slide release knob nearly cuts my fucking thumb
>>pump release knob hurts even more
It's really not that hard to do either of these
I mean, maybe a slide release on a brand new mag, but just pull the mag, grab the slide and manually rack it
>>29940682
>it was nothing like I was expecting from airshit
This. Airshit feels so weird to me anymore, from how easily manipulated the slides and bolts are.
>>29940682
ALLAHU ACKBAR!

>>29940164
You're not too weak, you're just being a pussy about it.
I had the same problem when I first tried to handle a semi-auto. I'd only used airshit before and was used to gently pulling a slide back with just the tips of my fingers, and kept slipping off the slides of semi-autos I picked up.
Remember, they're designed be operated by fucking explosions. You need a grip that can match that force.
In a similar vein, don't gently let a slide or bolt into its original position. If you rack back the bolt or slide on a gun, drop that thing from as far back as you can pull it. Otherwise the extractor might not engage and then you have an issue.
Jesus, just give it up and go back to hanging out with your vegan hipsters at Lowe Mill or your fellow autists at Pints n Pixels; whichever crowd you spawned out of.
Or just leave the state.

Let's not get too redundant.
Don't feel too bad OP. The trouble you had was probably due to the hammers being up on the CZ75 and possibly the H&K (depending on if it was a hammer fired or striker fired H&K). When the hammer is up, pulling the slide back not only fights the recoil spring, but you also fight against the hammer, which you cock back when manipulating the slide. I know for example, on my 1911, it's super hard to get the slide back when the hammer is up. I counter this by simply pulling the hammer back manually before racking the slide, which makes it much easier.
It's also really hard on small guns, which have much more stout recoil springs. I know that before my dad got his Kahr P380 broken in, it was really difficult to get the slide back. Also, when you're new to guns, and you don't really feel comfortable with how you're gripping them, you might try and grab it the wrong way, which makes it more difficult.
Lots of new shooters try and rack the slide by pinching the rear of the slide with their thumb and forefinger. That's not really efficient and just makes it harder on yourself.
Also, I would take the advice of one of the other anons ITT and buy a 10/22 first, and learn how to shoot on that. They're very cheap and the ammo is cheap too, and it will help you better understand the fundamentals of shooting and give you a basic understanding of how guns work. I would also recommend starting on a full size handgun before buying a pocket sized handgun, but guns are expensive so it's your call.
/k/ is full of assholes today evidently.
