Ortgies pistol tightening grips1/10/2024 The system worked well enough to allow a pistol chambered in. So until the bullet leaves the bore, the barrel cannot turn to unlock the slide. The bullet travelling down the barrel, being spun by the rifling in the barrel is rotating the same direction the barrel must turn, imparting a radial momentum preventing rotational movement of the barrel. The short version is, the barrel must be rotated a few degrees in order for the slide to move in recoil. It is a retarded blowback action, claimed in early advertising to be ‘locked’ at the moment of firing. The Savage autopistol is one of those near genius designs. I’ve never heard of “Savage bite’ – but it occurs as well! Not serious, but enough to get one’s attention, the slide rails again dug into the web of my shooting hand enough to draw blood. I even heard ‘Beretta bite’ mentioned on a television program – the same day, in fact. I’ve been ‘bitten’ by a Beretta 418 pistol, when the slide rails nicked the web of my shooting hand. All my shooting life I’ve been warned of and suffered from ‘hammer bite’ while shooting a Government Model Colt or any of the copies or clones thereof.
