That's interesting. On one of Matt Burkett's radio shows, his guest is the guy who runs The Box O'Truth. At one point, kind of in passing, they make a sort of joke about people who think the muzzle flash from compensated guns is something worth worrying about. I don't remember the details, but it was something to the effect that such people had obviously never spent much time shooting compensated guns.Fosforos wrote: There have been many lenghty discussions and debated about compensated models on the GlockTalk forum, and it seems like many of the "drawbacks" were kind of non-issues. They claim that mussle flash with carry-ammo is no more than standard, and many reported shooting with the gun close to their faces without any burn issues, and also reported negligible losses of mussle velocity.
It seems like it'd be really easy to test this sort of thing. Maybe I'll have to look around for a heavy caliber pistol with a ported barrel.
