It's called an Ultra-Lite, is that the same as air weight? Am I lining up the groove at the back with the front sight? I was thinking g of putting white on the sight, then sort of outlining g the groove with white. Bad idea?
Ultra lites are one of the most difficult to control when it comes to felt recoil.
Just to explain the round itself has a set amount of recoil. The whole action and opposite reaction deal.
But then other factors some into play as far as what you “feel” of that recoil. Those factors are barrel length, weight of the gun, position and design of the grip and whether or not the gun is semi auto or a single shot/revolver/pump etc.
The heavier the gun the less recoil you will feel. The longer the barrel the less the barrel will flip upwards with recoil and a semi auto absorbs some of the recoil in the action of the slide.
So a snubnose revolver will automatically have more muzzle flip and felt recoil. Then you add the lite weight and you feel even more of the recoil.
The only reason I bring this up is as a relatively new shooter it can lead to anticipation. That’s where you anticipate the recoil and push the rounds down by pushing into the shot.
The 22 is definitely the better option for qualification and then practice practice practice.
If you find you are pushing the rounds load one snap cap and then the rest of the rounds live. Spin the chamber and close. When you pull the trigger on the snap cap you will see how much anticipation you have.
