I read somewhere...long ago...that the SECOND most instantly recognizable, carnal-fear-inducing, psychologically paralyzing sound known to man is a shotgun slide being racked. No matter who you are, where you're from, what you're background is, etc...you recognize a slide being racked when you hear it, and it elicits an emotional response (fear or comfort depending on your relation to the slide...).sugar land dave wrote:Nothing quite as chilling as the sound of a pump action slide being racked.

I wish I remember where I read that- in part so I can re-evaluate its truthfulness, though it makes sense logically...
