@patsfanczar To clarify to those who might not understand, the pressure in the barrel acting on the brass forces the slide back 1/10th of an inch, unlocking the breech after the bullet leaves the barrel, and then physics take their course in forcing the slide rearward with recoil.

I think there are a couple of errors here. First, when the gun is simply cocked by pulling on the slide (0:22), the barrel does not tilt. Second, when the gun is fired (0:35), the breech should remain locked until the barrel begins to tilt. The way it's presented it looks like a simple blowback action.

@kaaajeee You are very correct, it is the law of action and reaction that drives recoil operated handguns. They are not driven directly by gasses, as a blowback or gas operated firearm is. The breech is locked to a moving barrel, thus making the bolt/bolt carrier NOT a piston, so it operated purely of of the same force as that which is pushing the bullet.
