I have come to the difficult decision that my weak, semi-arthritic left hand cannot be trusted to rack my CZ 75 Compact PCR in an emergency situation; the tipping point was yesterday at the range. I always go through 100 rounds or so with one or two snapcaps inserted randomly into each of the 5 range magazines. As each simulated malfunction occurs, I run the smack it and rack it drill, mentally putting myself into a stressful situation.
Even under such mild, artificial stress, either my hand slips or I don't get the slide all the way back 30% of the time. After a couple of thousand rounds without a single gun-caused malfunction, I have come to trust the PCR implicitly. Myself, however, not so much. And I can't/won't trust that something horrible won't happen in a truly stressful, lizard brain encounter.
So, I am perusing the for sale board here, and will probably posting my PCR there as well. I'm not sure what I want, but do know that I'm not a fan of plastic guns. Unreasonable? Probably. What I would really like is a 1911, assuming that I can find one that I could trust/afford. For now, I submitted a lowball bid on Gunbroker on a Kimber Ultra Carry II, which has somehow held up for 3 days. Almost rooting to get outbid, soon!
