Up, down, whatever. The breech comes down, the muzzle tips up.
Hey, they tilt when they shoot, too. Just real quick. And have since 1909.

More accurate? In service pistols, it is pretty much a wash between action types. You can accurize a Beretta for 50 yard target shooting but in spite of the "one ragged hole at ten yards" posts, I have not heard of anybody doing NRA Precision with a CZ.

In designs other than the Browning tilting barrel lockup, I can add rotating barrels like Steyr, Obregon, Beretta, and Grand Power. The Lahti and Archon have separate locking blocks unlike Beretta/Walther.
