Rotating barrel? Axis looks low; though there's more to felt recoil in pistols than just barrel axis.

Fixed barrel I believe.

Rotating barrel.

If you ever have a chance

get some footage from the support side. This is definitely one of those guns where you need to be careful where you put your support side thumb.

I guess I'm the only person who's bothered by the fact that you have to rack this thing twice to clear it.

I am not sure why you'd have to do that. Racking it once was enough for the one I used.

Put in a full magazine. Pull the slide to the rear, so there is a live round on the elevator. Drop the magazine. Let the slide go forward. There is now a live round in the chamber. This is just different enough from "normal" to be scary.

Since it doesn't appear to lock the slide back on an empty magazine I suppose this matters less. Still, I think it at least deserves a special "Hey guys, this is different from what you're used to so pay a little extra attention."

Like I said, I seem to be the only person who feels this way. Oh well.

What's the point in dropping the magazine half-way through the cycle? Normally, you cycle it in one motion. You can lock the slide back manually (same control as the take-down lever), but you would not do it half-day through the loading motion. You can contrive this situation but it's not something that normally happens. It's not like a belt-fed MG that requires two motions to unload.
