This video explores the effectiveness of low bore axis pistols, comparing the Archon Type B and Daniel Defense H9 against standard models like the Glock Gen 6. The presenter, an experienced shooter, analyzes how different bore axis heights and internal mechanisms (like the Archon's AF Speed Lock and the H9's 1911-style recoil spring) affect recoil impulse, muzzle flip, and follow-up shot speed. While low bore axis designs aim to redirect recoil energy, their actual impact varies, with compensators like the Radian Ram Jet proving highly effective in recoil reduction.
