Tip-up barrel

Tip-up barrel is a term used to describe semi-automatic pistols in which the first round in the chamber is not fed from a magazine, but is inserted directly into the chamber via a barrel which swings upwards to admit it. The particular advantage of the tip-up barrel is that it allows users to chamber a round who may lack sufficient hand/arm strength to rack the slide on a conventional semi-automatic pistol.
