This video explores the perceived differences in recoil and shooter experience between hammer-fired and striker-fired handguns. The presenter theorizes that the hammer spring in a hammer-fired system might absorb some rearward energy, potentially softening recoil. However, the experiment suggests that the striker-fired system felt smoother and allowed for quicker sight acquisition, leading to a preference for it despite the hammer-fired gun's familiar feel. The Manus X recoil measurement device was used but did not yield significant comparative data.
