Glossaries Description -
This is an imaginary line that runs through the center of a handgun's barrel and out through the back of the gun. Different handguns have a different bore axis--either a high axis (above the hand) or a low axis (near the hand)--a high bore axis tends to create greater recoil and more muzzle flip when firing the gun than does a low bore axis. |
