+After getting a metal threaded adapter from 14x1mm-CCW to 12x1mm-CW I was also able to continue testing with my 1911 blowback pistol.

+The measured speed / energy seeme a bit low, that's because I was using a propane magazine with a Co2 hammer spring.
206
+Another topic is the weight of the OpenChrono device.
207
+When attaching large weights to the front of a 1911-style mechanism, the force required to actuate the slide is much larger.
208
+Therefore the valve is open for a longer time, increasing the gas usage.
209
+So the magazine gas chamber empties quickly and, I suspect, the BB force is reduced as well.
210
+That's a drawback of this style of chronograph mounting for some guns.
