Quoted: Interesting!
I'm still going to try to get a practice round to set back tonight. Or at least establish how many cycles before I start to see setback.
w00t!

I just tried 14 cycles with a Fed 180gr Hydrashok. It went from 1.123" to 1.116" It's not alot but if you do it twice a day that's 1 week. It was a single round and I'm sure others would vary but frankly cycling the slide by hand to lock and reloading it in the mag is a PITA and I dont care to keep doing it with more rounds.
I'll try the same with my 1911 and 230gr Ranger SXTs and see what happens. I will edit this post with results from my Springer custom, and a stock GI model.
Here it is:
My carry SA 1.210" to 1.207" my GI 1.210" to 1.195"
Even .45acp suffers setback in my beloved 1911 however the cartridge itself is lower pressure and doesnt seem to suffer the same issue but it is worth noting. If I were inclined to own a .40 cal 1911 I'd watch it as closely as I would the glock.
