Also be aware that certain brands of popular target ammo (Blazer Brass comes to mind) have a warning on the box to 'Not Use in Ported Firearms'. They use a copper plating process for the jacketing that can separate from the lead & cause injury.rotor wrote:They warn about this in the manual that comes with the gun. They have a whole page of ported barrel warnings. They also have a million pages (it seems) of other warnings. Takes forever to find out how to field strip it.AndyC wrote:I have shot ported handguns fairly extensively, and the only word of caution I would give you is be very wary of shooting them from the retention position ie. down at waist level. The ports throw a LOT of debris upwards at high velocity - I had to have my eyes washed out the first time I tried that.
