MikeG, i understand what you are saying. This is the first .45 caliber handgun I have ever shot more than on one occasion. I like to think of myself as not flinching, but it may happen. However, the same friend of mine who suggested the recoil buffer being bad shot the gun himself and we saw the same problem.
Mainspring, the distance was about 10 yards and the bullet drop varied from 18 inches to 24 inches. The reason for the 6 inch difference being due to my not so consistent accuracy. However, the drops were consistently in that 18 to 24 range from where I believed to be aiming. And yes, the most recent and most used round I've used is the Winchester .45 FMJ's.
I took the gun apart today looked at the spring and the plastic buffer. I could tell the buffer was definitely one from a gun that had been shot a lot, but it didn't strike me as broken or defected.
The talk about the sights being off would make sense except for the fact that one out of roughly 5 shots follows directly where I have the sights aimed the entire time.
