Shooting, Reloading, some gunsmithing - competing GSSF and some local competitions. Hiking and long Walks with Dog. Researching the "Truth" not the BS we are fed. I loath the Main Stream Media. Retired since 2/7/20
many videos of shooters racking this way - and I've seen it a couple times at matches - I personally don't rack my slide that way but really no harm in it - optic should be secured firmly anyway
I used "CC3D" Method - Take a slow mo video on your phone. Use progressively lighter springs until you get the ;east amount of muzzle movement - very good method!
I got the 17/34 Tungsten Guide Rod (not extended) and went to a 13# spring - works well I'm happy with the performance. It is an un-captured spring set up
