hi,
the Barak pistol is ugly, no debate.
And it is absolutely without a good reason to exist.
It is nothing else, but a CZ-75 (or Jericho) in a futuristic polymer bag.
The firing mech is the very same, the main difference is its complicated twin-recoil spring unit. (Why did they design it???)
The only acceptable theory on the "slide-tumor", that it is easier to chamber a round.
Most Israelis are trained on HiPowers and their policy is NOT to carry them in condition one.
(Empty chamber)
