Clips: Savage's "Locked" Blowback System
This video examines the unique 'locked' blowback system of the Savage 1907 pocket pistol, as patented by Albert Hamilton Cyril. The system relies on the barrel's tendency to rotate due to rifling friction to momentarily lock the breech. However, the presenter argues that due to the reliance on friction and lack of dwell time, it functions more as a delayed blowback system.
