How does the Pearson No-Drill rail hold up to .357 recoil?
As the title, how does the Pearson No-Drill rail handle factory .357 recoil over long periods of time and the impact on optic accuracy? I've got a new 92 with a 24" octagonal barrel that I want to mount a scout scope for hunting use. I live in Australia so getting the barrel drilled and tapped for an appropriate rail may be a bit tricky so it's honestly easier to get a no-drill rail imported, but I wanted to make sure first that I won't have to be readjusting the mount and resighting the scope to often due to recoil.

No real experience with the mount but .357 magnum recoil isn't harsh by rifle standards and on a 24" octagonal rifle there's LOTS of mass to mitigate the recoil so I wouldn't be concerned.
You will want to ensure the mount works with the octagonal. I'm pretty sure I've seen them used on Octagonals but I'm not sure if there was modifications required or a specific version of the mount.

It's not easy, quick, or cheap. Importing usually requires the services of a specialist company that has the requisite licenses and contacts for both the country of origin (export) and the country where it's being shipped to (import).
Ian over at Forgotten Weapons on YouTube recently did a video where he interviewed the consigner who handled the import/export of his rifles for a competition, shipping the guns from the U.S. to Finland and back.
Sometimes gun parts are easier to import than completed firearms, but often one country or the other will lump them into the same restricted status, necessitating the bureaucratic hurdles, time, and expense.

Everything is getting ITAR categorized and anything over the cost of a cheap magazine is getting flagged as something that the State Department and foreign equivalent may have to sign off on.

It depends on where you live, and which Gun parts.Blind Hawg wrote:How hard is it to import gun parts?
ITAR Rules changed a lot, in 2020, where most riflescopes that used to be ITAR changed to "normal" export rules.
Typically, you need a permit, for anything, that requieres a Serial Number (Receiver and maybe barrel.)
But again, it depends hugely, in where you live.
In the US, I seem to remember, that California, is a huge challenge.

California is a challenge in many, many ways...

If you remove the rear site you might find your barrel is already drilled and taped. Mine was.

Long Time, no postings.
@Hammar Since you are in Australia, for this kind of Gun Parts, there is no problems, as the price is less than US$ 100.
The "Fixture" version of the rail, will be the most solid.

But they mount red dots.on the dovetail, on the Slide, on Semi auto pistols, without problems... Recoil/Movement on a Pistol Slide, will be 100'ds of times more, than on a .357 Rifle.
Even the Mini Rail, should do OK. https://universalopticsrail.com/Univers ... p138178939
But I do hope, that you found a solution.
