Ports decrease muzzle velocity, whereas comps do not. Comps also add muzzle weight, which keeps the muzzle weighed down. A comp, plus a tungsten guide rod, feels like an airsoft gun.

[@DTex.45ACP]

This. What's the measured velocity lost from being ported? Seems like the equivalent to an inch of barrel, which has an impact.

[@AC-bl1rl]

Depends on the whole setup and ammo. There's at least one video on here somewhere, where someone actually picked up a few fps with ports. I don't know how, crazy. But, its usually not much of a drop at all. I'll get around to testing mine eventually.

[@kevinjohnson3925]

This has been tested by other guntubers. The lose is nearly none. I have both setups with tlr H1 and tungsten. Ports blow away radian. Not even close rapid fire drills.

[@triggerbarPhD]

Exactly. Over and over people say 9mm is just as good as…40s&w, 45 acp, etc. they also say modern gun powder, new bullets…etc. then they run Jell-O shots loads and port their gun. They’re basically shooting less power than 380 acp.

[@Taegashi]

Another negative aspect to the ported barrel, as Nightwood Guns showed on his tests of comps vs ports on his channel, is that when shot from retention ports will shoot out micro fragments of the bullet out of the ports, thus potentially causing injuries to yourself. He demonstrated this and had shrapnel wounds all along his support arm.

[@JustinV911]

He had a really good video. I used his finding to make a decision on my edc (Went with radian afterburner, I have kids and if worse comes to worse and shtf I don’t want to be holding baby in arms with ports)

I personally run the Radian comp + barrel for on my main carry Glock, apart from not having to send in my gun for gunsmithing work for porting, I can have the extra barrel laying around if I do need to use it for another build or to have as backup just in case somehow my Radian barrel gets messed up. Love the good work you do bro

[@Rusty_Spiggle-Smith]

One thing not mentioned here is by adding ports you’re taking a bit of velocity out of the system that gets to remain behind the bullet a tad bit longer in the case of the compensator. Would have been interesting to see velocity readings thrown in the mix to be able to quantify that, see if it’s enough difference to make a difference

[@_Delta_P_]

It’s been shown that ported barrels have negligible decrease in velocity.

[@Rusty_Spiggle-Smith]

@@_Delta_P_ I bet that depends a lot on the size and number of the ports, and the powder and how much of it used. Then, the length of barrel also plays a vital role as well..

[@cornbreadbrown4961]

i've also had a degradation in accuracy, after having a barrel ported.. as well as, with aftermarket ported barrels, vs the stock barrel. i've not noticed that with comps.. once re-zeroed, they seem to stay consistant.. were with my ported barrels, i still get more fliers

[@FuckGoogle502]

My first thought on seeing the thumbnail. I came here to say this myself.

[@eddietonore2813]

QVO Tactical and Tier 1 Concealed both have lots of content with ported barrels and comped guns and have both discussed the difference being negligible. We’re talking 20-25 fps which would amount to less than .25 ft/lbs of energy difference so effectively zero difference regardless of barrel length or port design (Within reason. Meaning any logical setup. Not stupidly massive ports, not 15 holes, ports being located at least halfway down the barrel and not by the chamber, barrel lengths reasonably expected for carry, ammo types reasonably expected for carry, etc.) I have also measured velocity with ported, comped, and normal barrels on a Glock, velocities were all within very small increments, even overlapped some with shitty ammo. Just info I’ve seen and put together on my own. 🤙🏽🤙🏽🤙🏽

[@thejatomis]

What's interesting here is where the gun falls back down to, moreso than the overall recoil angle. It looks like the ported one restored the sight picture a lot quicker (closer) than the compensated one at least for Micah. My understanding is that muzzle flip shouldn't matter as much as where the gun sits after the action cycles that determines the speed of the followup shot.

[@jerichorosas]

So yes. That said some of that has to do with the load. Different loads will work comps differently. For example loads that have higher pressures and more gas will force the comp to dip (like the +p loads) but powder puff loads (like the Jello shots) may not work the comp enough. This is without even considering the recoil spring weight and how lighter recoil springs sometimes help with that dip, but then it’s eating less of the cycling energy. None of this is as simple as, throw a comp on there and hope for the best. For example, my open gun has both porting and a compensator and fires 9 major ammo at about 160% maximum factory load pressures. Even shooting way hotter ammo than anything this Glock can handle, it shoots flatter than any of these guns. It is a system, not just any one thing, that drives how the gun behaves.

[@The-BCC]

Both guns had different stippling. So the green ported one could have been rotating/slipping in the hand? 🤷‍♂️

FWIW, Tier 1 Concelaed did a pretty comprehensive video about this exact subject, with different handguns and different shooters, using both ported and compensated guns. In that particular video, it seemed the ported guns came out on top, over the comp'd guns. Which leads me to believe it might come down to what type of porting a gun has vs which model comp it has. Which then leads me to believe, we're splitting hairs. Ported or comp'd is certainly better than a stock gun. The rest may just be preference. Also, Optics Planet fucking sucks.

@@scottrenner1576 hollow points perform better with lower fps generally. One exception might be ranger talons which are very unreliable and require super long barrels or the bullet won't open up due to regular clothing. Federal HST, Gold Speer both seem to have no difference whether +p or standard is used. With the exception that 147 HST penetrates 2 inches less at 15" at standard load. If the defensive ammo offers a +p option, it's usually better to take it unless you specifically want 147 HST which for lower penetration. Corbon, barnes XPD, Vortac all use the exact same bullet and in my opinion are the best, most reliable 9mm hollowpoint that expands exactly to double the 9mm original bullet unlike HST and gold dot which only achieve about 150% diameter. The XPD bullets penetrate 13 inches of gel which means it can probably only be used for direct bullet to attacker purposes and cannot be used for punching barriers that you get with 18" gel punchers.

It really depends - and actually might surprise you. Both monsoon tactical and Vulcan machine works port barrels on 1911 and 2011s for 250. Granted this is a send out with sometimes long lead times. The ramjet afterburner is 390 and you have to do it yourself. Final consideration tho, is that porting a barrel voids the manufacturer warranty but a compensator doesn’t

[@BigHarryBalzac]

My ported pistols were ported by Mag-na-port. Their autoporting is a unique system of porting semi-automatics by using a trapezoidal port through the barrel and an oversized expansion vent through the slide to allow maximum dissipation without fouling. The pair of ports are angled, one to the left and one to the right instead of straight up. You don't have the large flash of muzzle blast experienced with systems dumping larger volumes of gases through holes positioned across the center line. Unlike most other types of porting, there's no loss of velocity with Mag-na-ported guns.There's no increase in muzzle blast or night blindness attributed tot heir porting service. Some other ported barrels with more holes that they go farther back on the barrel are a really loud, but I never noticed any change on my Mag-na-ported guns.

[@oceaser6977]

About 17 pistols and not a single Glock but that ramjet may make me go get a G45

[@ES_Competitive]

Not all porting is done the same. For best muzzle flip mitigation, you want the ports as far forward as possible. DSC V8 is a good example. Some top of the barrel, inline porting goes back past the center of the barrel. Not as effective.

[@BigBadBalrog]

One thing to tally up in the Ports' favor is that you don't need a hex key to take it apart for cleaning. I will 100% misplace it and have to bring one home from my work toolbox, then lose that one too.

[@gschgvt2956]

Seems like offset 45 degree ports would be better than top ported for keeping that flash out of the center of your sight picture. That wall of flame coming straight up has to affect accuracy in lower light conditions.

[@engage-project]

The problem with ports besides reduction in velocity, especially for carry is the shrapnel that it throws out the ports. Try a test where you put a banana peel above the barrel, and then imagine if you are in a life or death situation and you need to engage from retention.

[@patricksantos361]

Did both guns use a different recoil spring. Cause i think the radian setup uses a proprietary recoil spring system as well

[@lesflynn4455]

Micah seems to be perfecting the opening shpiel where he sets up the video and thanks all of the sponsors. He's doing it well, which makes more people watch it. He makes it kind of entertaining which also helps. Micah is smashing it. Well done fella!

[@ethandye8764]

won't the cut outs for the ports effect the feeding of the pistol? i've seen machined slides have feed and eject issues.

Does the “added length” of a comp really matter when you have a weapon light sticking out PAST that over an inch?

[@willr4880]

Did he say if he was running a stock guide rod or did he ha e the spring kit from radian. Just got one and was curious which to run. Some are saying the 15lb red spring. Guess it depends on the ammo

[@rupertgumban9251]

Great ,detailed video! Bad Ass Glocks! I’m glad ramjet won! I purchased one for my g19 gen 4. Still waiting for my slide from DP custom for slide cuts..we’re you using g17’s

[@RandoBox]

What are your thoughts on the factory ported versions like the 17C? Are all ports the same?

[@JustinV911]

Best ammo for ports / comps? I thought lower weights were better like 115s over 147s? In ported/comp guns? And 147s for stock guns?

[@LostCityExpeditions]

2:49 is so cinematic!

[@BrandensOutdoorChannel]

What about a comp on a ported gun?

[@cosmicvapor]

Ports for competition, Compensator for duty/defense.

“Know your place, okay. You’re the cameraman, I’m the main character okay.” 😂

[@Venom22250]

What about a test with the afterburner in the stippled glock for a more 1:1 test?

[@Visual217]

4:28 "know your place" lmao sounds like Micah has been dying to say something like that on his own channel

[@joer8386]

isnt the G9 bullets defense external hollow point the same as the Underwood extreme defender?

[@Marcassss]

I was considering replacing the barrel on my Glock but I'm curios do I need to also shoot match grade ammo at that point? thanks
