And yes, that is true.

There is a modicum of truth in that.

However, when the bullet leaves the bore, the pressure goes to nearly nothing.

The slide begins to unlock as the bullet is traveling down the bore.

But it is still locked up.

it doesn't completely unlock until the bullet leaves the bore and then it's unlocked.

Right.

And then you've got, you've got, uh, my math is wrong, but it's, it's like, don't worry about it.

The energy, the energy left in that slide is negligible as compared to what that energy was in the slide when it was locked up.

As a matter of fact, John Travis has got a Caspian frame 1911 Commander.

Caspian now is cast.

I think he's got 300 or 400 rounds through it without a recoil spring in it.

I've got video of him running a mag through it with no recoil spring.

Interesting.

The recoil spring has... I'm not going to say nothing to do, but

If you've got to change the recoil spring because of the round, then the gun won't handle it over the long term.

What are we talking about?

What are we talking about?

A Glock?

No, USP.
