Yes, it is a 45, but I've racked other pistols Glock 9MM, S&W Tactical 9MM and they were easier to rack than my Ruger. When I look at Midway USA commericals and I see him rack his what I think is a Colt 1911 he's able to do it with no effort at all?
I can try some luberication on the slide to see if that helps.
