This site (Dutch) has a number of interesting high speed films of .22 and .32 caliber pistols firing. I found this from a post on TargetTalk, posted by "Axel":

For those of you that doesn't understand danish, here's a short translation:
Karlslunde Sport did functional tests with seven different pistols and with four different brands of ammunition. The goals of the test were to show how the pistol is feeding, how many times the slide bounced on the barrel, recoil/mussle jump and how long it takes for the pistol to get ready after one shot etc. All this is filmed by a Weinberger high speed camera at 1000, 2000 and 5000 pictures per second. If you want a DVD with all the films - 50 danish crowns including postage.
Download the short movies and enjoy! :-) Please post your impressions and analysis of the films.
Very interesting! Too bad they don't shoot 1911 .45 caliber in the Netherlands!
