SCCY 9mm - Blowback, Short Recoil, Delayed Recoil, or What Other Operation System?

A quick look on a "field strip" tutorial for the Sccy on YouTube, it appears very much to be recoil operated as most 9mm tend to be.

pretty clearly shows a Browning derivative, tilting barrel, short recoil action pistol.

Same type of recoil operation as the Glock, SIG, Ruger LC9,etc. Tilting barrel system.

It's a recoil operated locked breech. It's basically a Kel Tec P11 with better cosmetics and a slightly better, smoother DAO trigger. Take down is identical to the P11. Why so similar to a Kel Tec? 'Cause SCCY was started up by a former Kel Tec employee.

I have several P11's which sometimes need a tiny bit of work on the extractor to function well (see internet posts explaining it elsewhere) and am fairly happy with them; I have a friend with a SCCY and he is happy with his. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder; I like mine better. These are cheap cheap "bulk" 9mm lock breech tilting barrels as has been pointed out. I like the P9 even better.
