Here is your answer for slo-mo video:

About 2/3 the way through the video, you can see the bullet leaving the barrel of a 1911.

Excellent video! That is the 'smoking gun' so to speak

The one thing that I really found interesting though (and what really answers my original question) is how quickly in the process the bullet exits the barrel... good stuff.

The thing that surprised me most is the amount of stuff coming out of the barrel before the bullet exits.
