Air rack?
So I saw this for the first time in my life 5 minutes ago. Then I discovered people actually do this on purpose.

I clicked on it thinking I might see boobs. Well, I did. But they were boobs of the “you are an ignorant boob stop doing that” variety.

Yikes. If I saw people doing that near me at any range I would try to have them removed or I would leave.

Am I crazy or are they?

I've never seen it done in person, but it seems popular on YouTube. I think it's a function of the modern competition racegun crowd...the guys with all the outrageous front serrations, comps, and recoil springs so light that they'll barely return a slide into battery under the most ideal of conditions. Nothing I own is going to do that, even if I was juvenile enough to want to try it.

I believe its a way of racking the slide with only 1 hand.
Push gun out fast, recoil spring is so light that the slide lags frame, essentially causing a "air" rack.

Yep that’s it. Looks completely fucking retarded. And not a safe technique. Ugh.

This sounds like a stunt, like the wrist-flick to open or close revolver cylinders, only dumber.

Something to include in John Wick 5.

I’m so glad that my youth isn’t captured on digital eternity.

Yeah, seems rather silly. After such, one would need a ‘press check’ anyway, to check if the round made it.

I think I’ll pass.

Pamela Anderson in her prime, think Labatt’s Beer prime, is a solid yes. Air rack, solid no.

Well, there is a rack, and it's kinda airborne....
