I bumped into a guy at a gun store the other day who offered some thoughts on porting. It was his feeling that porting does a minimal job of reducing recoil and that the ports would soon fill up with debris from shooting, and be rendered virtually useless. Plus, he added, porting makes the gun sound louder to the shooter than it would without porting.
The added noise factor, I can see. But since I've never had the experience of shooting a ported gun, I have no way of knowing whether he spoke the truth, or whether he simply pulled those thoughts out of his hat.
I welcome your comments on same... Thanks!
