Racking the slide is very important for a woman, who might feel uncomfortable or just plain not want to shoot because of her difficulty or feeling overwhelmed. It is good that a 100lbs woman could rack a slide, but I used to know a 180lbs guy who could bench over 500lbs, that doesnt mean that every other 180lbs guy could do it, hell I weight 200+ and cant bench that much, life just works like that. My wife for instance is 6' tall and pretty strong, but got very frustrated attempting to rack slides and it hurt her fingers and hands on many guns, I knew if this was going to be an issue, she was just not going to carry the weapon. Could she learn to rack the slide or ignore the discomfort, yes probably, but WOULD she...I doubt it. So now she carries a revolver that she loves, instead of having a semi auto that she lets sit in the safe because its a pain to operate.
If the poster says its an issue...then it is an issue period.
