Physics would dictate that self loading actions with more recoil will have less sensitivity to suboptimal handling. That being said, all things are not equal and recoil is only one of many reliability factors. Quality design, materials and manufacturing have more bearing on the subject from my experience. The one physics factor I do think plays an important role is mass of the non reciprocating parts vs. The mass of the reciprocating parts. The higher the ratio is on the non reciprocating side of the equation, the more tolerance to limp existing.</p></blockquote><p></p>
