Are your other semi-auto pistols hard to rack or is it just the LCP?
Many women can't rack a semi-auto. Most guys can if they have normal hand strength.
All are tough, for me, she can't rack any of them at all. We're both old, and I'm disabled.
olcop,
The Handi-Racker might be worth a try. It is demonstrated in the below video.

I sort of ruled out a separate mechanical assist for this because of storage space and possibility of fumbling it in an emergency, my thinking is that a few seconds lost acquiring and racking the gun could be the difference between handling the situation or not. the lack of hard corners anywhere near the driver's seat on modern era vehicles and dropping the assist device would cost even more time. The one I saw was s device that looked sort of like the bolt pull on a semiautomatic .22 rifle, but with a base with two holes that one would would drill and tap in the slide and mounting the device on the slide, where it would become a permanant attachment,there are several of these types on the market, but so far, I haven't found one for an LCP.
I appreciate all the info, suggestions and ideas. please keep em coming
