A type of military backsword – a British 1796 heavy cavalry sword purchased by Sweden in 1808. A backsword is a type of sword characterised by having a single-edged blade and a hilt with a single-handed grip. [1] It is so called because the triangular cross section gives a flat back edge opposite the cutting edge. [2]
Historical one-handed versions have blades varying from 45 to 80 cm (18 to 31 in) in length. The weight of an average sword of 70 cm (28 in) blade-length would weigh about 700 to 900 g (1.5 to 2.0 lb).

When the hammer strikes, the head is stopped by an opposite force coming from the target, equal and opposite to the force applied by the head to the target. If the target is a hard and heavy object, or if it is resting on some sort of anvil , the head can travel only a very short distance d before stopping.
The consequence is that those on the force with heavy hands will see ejected cases go further than 5 ft (1.5 m). This small amount of slide slam may cause some tiny additional wear to the slide, frame, and shooter's high mass hand, but it is a better option than a limp wristed malfunction for the low hand mass officers.
