High Speed vid of cut-away 1911

[Casimer]

Here's a cool high speed video of a 1911 w/ cut-away slide, frame, and grip regions. It also shows a AR bolt cycling.

try the downloads - I hadn't been able to get the streaming versions to play.

Very interesting, thanks for the link.

The very slow speed video of the muzzle of the 1911 clearly shows that the gun is already in motion due to recoil before the bullet exits the barrel.

That's really neat.

I didn't think a J-Frame would rock that much in your hand though, that almost looked painful.

Is that a 357 Airlite?

That's right. The estimate that I've seen is that this motion is about 1/10th of an inch, but it looks like a lot more than that in the video.
