![]() ![]() So, what conditions actually cause more wear on the frame? And, more importantly, from a practical perspective, does it really matter? ![]() (Again, as presented in post #10, refer to the article How Recoil Spring Rate Affects Timing.) In my experience, while Silver-Bolt considered both, most shooters tend to focus on the recoil phase of the slide cycle and disregard the charge (return) phase of the slide cycle. and the forward impact force is directly proportional to the RSA spring weight as well. Yet, it seems to me that, while the front-to-back 'smack' is typically acknowledged, the back-to-front 'smack' is typically ignored.ĭon't forget that the slide moves forward as well as rearward. Accordingly, forces are distributed front-to-back AND back-to-front. In reality, the recoil phase of the slide cycle 'smacks' the frame and the locking block when the slide moves rearward and the return (charge) phase of the slide cycle 'smacks' the slide lock and the frame when the slide moves forward (returns to battery). However, considering that the charge cycle force on the slide lock and frame is proportionally less, the question really becomes 'Is the additional recoil force on the frame a negative, or not?' ![]()
