One feature is the dual recoil spring system that spreads out the recoil force of the .45 ACP round by lowering the peak force of the recoil pulse. It also has 3-dot tritium night sights , a 5-inch national match barrel, ambidextrous safety, picatinny rail , and a desert tan Cerakote finish.
The simplest form of recoil buffer is made from a resilient and deformable material (leather, rubber, polymer e.g. a rubber butt pad on a shotgun). [1] A second way of producing a recoil buffer is to insert a spring into the recoil train—the path/part(s) generating recoil impulse.
Canadian Beretta Cx4 Storm with 19-inch barrel and Bushnell MP red dot sight In Canada, the Cx4 Storm was the primary weapon used in the 2006 Dawson College shooting . The restricted class firearm had been acquired legally, and a coroner's inquest into the shooting recommended that all semi-automatic rifles be banned in Canada.
The original use of the recoil booster was to provide additional energy to move the large barrel/bolt mass on recoil operated machine guns. [7] At the start of WWI the primary German machine gun was the Maxim-based MG 08, a water-cooled heavy machine gun equipped with a blank firing adapter but not a muzzle booster.
Nearly any .45 ACP pistol can be converted to utilize the .400 Cor-Bon cartridge with only a drop-in replacement barrel, and sometimes a heavier recoil spring (for 1911s this is usually an 18-20 lb. spring, although a few need a 22–24 lb. spring). [7] [27] Suitable recoil springs are easily installed when changing barrels and readily ...

A muzzle brake or recoil compensator is a device connected to, or a feature integral (ported barrel) to the construction of, the muzzle or barrel of a firearm or cannon that is intended to redirect a portion of propellant gases to counter recoil and unwanted muzzle rise. [1]
