So watching this video would indicate that the bullet has fully left the barrel of the gun prior to the slide beginning to retract.


Agree or disagree?

Agree, the cloud of smoke exiting the barrel comes after the bullet.

I had been searching for slow mo videos to confirm this.

There is no recoil until the round has left the barrel, so that's perfectly reasonable to me.

Logic would indicate that the bullets speed is primary and the slides movement is reactionary, but I wanted to see it, because it could be simultaneous...

That would be correct for a blowback gun, however the Glock is a locked breech weapon and doesn't unlock until after the bullet has gone bye-bye.

Correct. In virtually all modern autopistols, the slide and barrel begin to move rearward together once the bullet has left the barrel. They move together, delaying unlocking until chamber pressures have dropped enough to allow the case to be extracted easily from the chamber (it tends to sick in there while containing thousands of PSI of pressure).

Agree or disagree?

yes.

so what was the question? This is simple physics :flipoff2:

Just confirming. What I knew.
