Consider the angle of the gun against the mesh of the barrier. If we call the horizontal bars of the mesh horizontal, we see that when the shooter is aiming he already has the muzzle at an elevated angle and when the piece recoils the muzzle rise is very minimal, perhaps a half to three quarters of an inch which is of no consequence. I wonder how much of that is due to the mass of the holo sight on top of the slide. It does nicely illustrate that a compensator doesn't make much difference on a .45 though. When I'm talking about muzzle flip due to a low hold on the grip frame I'm talking about 3"-4" inches, minimal flip can be discounted as not existing as it does nothing to detract from the speed of target reacquisition or the speed of a follow up shot.
