The short version is, the barrel must be rotated a few degrees in order for the slide to move in recoil. It is a retarded blowback action, claimed in early advertising to be ‘locked’ at the moment of firing. The Savage autopistol is one of those near genius designs. I’ve never heard of “Savage bite’ – but it occurs as well! Not serious, but enough to get one’s attention, the slide rails again dug into the web of my shooting hand enough to draw blood. I even heard ‘Beretta bite’ mentioned on a television program – the same day, in fact. I’ve been ‘bitten’ by a Beretta 418 pistol, when the slide rails nicked the web of my shooting hand.
All my shooting life I’ve been warned of and suffered from ‘hammer bite’ while shooting a Government Model Colt or any of the copies or clones thereof.
