You can even get into gas-delayed blowback, like the HKP7 or Steyr GB used…

Thanks Anni nice read now I know why my bersa 380 is so dead eye and my Walter p22 is really accurate both blow back design

Thanks Anni! I’m not even embarrassed that I didn’t know this stuff. Love learning something new every day…keeps me young, and maybe a little bit sane.

I have “known” about the two types of pistol design for a while. Unfortunately, my brain is full and every time something new comes in the front, something has to go out the back! Usually it is something like the information in the article, so I have to keep learning the same thing over and over!

Thanks for the link, Anni.
