Animated internal view of handgun cycling?

Durn burn it! I had a website bookmarked awhile back that showed a slow-motion, animated internal view of several guns (one was a Glock, I remember) cycling, and somehow I lost the darned thing.

I've been trying to explain the inner workings of some semi-autos to a new shooter and this would be ideal. A picture, as they say, is worth a thousand words. Animated pictures must be worth a million :D.

Anybody have a link to that site?

Glocks:

This animation is very easy to use and quite good.

This animation is more detailed but is a bit more complicated to use. It has one glitch though. The striker spring is much stiffer than the trigger spring. Therefore as the slide returns, the trigger resets before there's much in the way of significant compression of the striker spring. The model incorrectly shows the striker spring compressing while the trigger resets.

Beretta 92FS:
No double action firing mode in this Beretta 92FS animation but they do describe how it works.

There's a downloadable screensaver animation here. I haven't tried it out.

Thanks guys! :)

Genitron was the site I lost (and forgot :eek:), but I didn't even know about the others. They'll make a great addition to my list.

Thanks again! :cool:
