Greetings. Like the title says. I'm not quite clear how the weapon cycles with a tip up barrel. Does the barrel swing away from the frame under recoil? Does a heavy spring pull the barrel back into battery? How do you chamber a round?
Did any company do much work on tip-ups besides Beretta? Advantages/disadvantages? I'm mainly curious because I was pondering a Beretta .25 for a very, very petite friend with low hand strength. Thanks for your time. -MV
