Very cool, intresting to see all the slag coming out behind the bullet..

This video holds great interest to me. A long time ago I was in a loooooong debate with a few folks of considerable pedigree in the 1911 building world. The debate was about if the slide moves before the bullet exits. I never found a video to support my position that it indeed moves before the bullet exits. This video shows the slide moving before the bullet exits! Its small, but its there and that was my contention

I figured it was a given that the slide moved before bullet exit, it's just with that short recoil operation you're trying to keep the barrel parallel for as long as possible until the barrel link (or cam or locking block or whatever) unlocks the barrel and tips it

 

 

That's a youtube copy of a video thats downloadable at Tripp's site also. That cutaway 1911 is fantastic.
