Slow-Motion Guns Firing

I ran across this on reddit and found it mildly interesting.

A shooter took some slow-motion video of himself firing a couple of pistols.

He described this one as a 1911, although it doesn’t seem to have an exposed hammer.

He said the second pistol is a Browning Buckmark 22. Not sure why his pinky is floating out there instead of helping him grip the gun–kinda dainty.

It helps illustrate the difference between the two pistols’ actions pretty well.
