Does your dot go up or down?

[JThompson]

That should have read under .12 and it's not uncommon to go .10 or under.

I went in to practice tonight and took a look at where the dot goes. I was surprised to see it go right to the top of the reticle and then right back down... Some of them had a little jink in te movement that I think was inconsistent pressure in recoil. Anyway, just thought I would let you know.

I did a little research on this today for you. Also I was curious... If I really grip the gun hard I get a big dip in the dot. If you dot is dipping try to lighten your grip some.

Thanks JT, I'll try that! I'm use to STI platform and my dot is a predictable up and down dot movement from the middle of the lens. Since I switched over to V12 Tanfoglio, i found that it is violent! Dot is going striaght up and down though out the WHOLE lens?? and I can not predidct its bouncing movement? Will have to try other loads and recoil spring to tune the gun.

I also think that since it is a lightened slide, it is not a soft recoiled gun.

Dot movement. Maku Mozo: http://www.brianenos.com/forums/index.php?...st&p=744101

Most all of the flip and dot motion is caused by the slide hitting the frame at the end of it's rearward travel.

Cant really see the c-more, but can see minimal muzzle rise.

Yes, I agree with Shred. If you watch his slow, slow, slow motion video you can see that the MOST movement of the gun is when the slide bottoms out to change direction. You can change the action here from a hard bottoming jerk to a softer, slower but longer pull by increasing the weight of your recoil spring. It's all a trade off though because no matter what weight spring you use, you still have to dissipate the same amount of energy.

Great contribution Shred. I watched this I don't know how many times, each few times changing my focus to a different part of the gun and its action / reaction. e.g. the twist and wiggle of the C-More and its mount, muzzle rise, slide action and so forth.

That's the reason I don't like single side mounts, double sided mounts have less twist and the dot appears more stable.
