using your RMR to rack the slide ?

If the sight can withstand the beating it takes when firing I think racking the slide with it would be OK. Most people don't think about what a slide mounted sight goes through during a firing sequence. first you have recoil of firing, then the slide goes rearward extremely fast, changes directions, then slams to a stop when the slide closes. All this in a fraction of a second. this is what kills slide mounted optic sites.

I have worried about mounting an optic on G33 that now has a 40 cal barrel in it. I know 9mm is ok relative to recoil and with luck FedEx today will deliver a mill slide from SI that I got a bargain price. I was also thinking of setting of a G22 in 40 with optic, but I am sort of back pedaling on that also until I do more research. I was also thinking of putting a brace on it, but will wait for the final brace rule in August to see if the ATF will allow it or not.

I would if I had to in a bad situation, but at the range? I do not
