I have a Baretta Pico and it is a bitch to wrack the slide for my 80 year old hands. On advice of some guys on another forum I left the slide locked open for several days, applied grip tape in strategic places on the slide and drilled myself on the overhand wracking technique.
The idea was to "season" the recoil spring, improve the grip surface on the slide and perfect the "weak hand on the slide/strong hand only pushes" technique. After some practice I got the drill down and strengthened my grip to boot. It's still not a perfect solution but it's good enough. Hope this helps.
Oh and for the range I have a golf glove with the trigger finger cut out.
