Not sure porting on such a short barrel would be a plus for me... You're already sacrificing velocity for concealability, why handicap the round even more?
Maybe if I regularly shot BUG matches...

I would avoid the PC Shield.
The porting is horrible for a carry gun, especially when Smith has in the manual to "not fire from hip". I'd take the extra money and buy an Apex kit and/or night sights for a standard Shield. |

Damn, $499! That's high as crap I didn't pay that price. It was on sale for $430, and I had $50 in Cabela's points. So, $380 + tax. As for the fire ball, yes, it's significant. This photo captured it, but I didn't even notice it. For the poster above, I have never fired a pistol from the hip, but it's obvious that doing so with this one may cause a problem. The trigger is exceptional, the sights are nice and it fits well for my purpose.

How do you not notice a fireball like that?
I personally would avoid any ported gun for EDC. Hell no. Wreaks havoc on your eye sight in low light. Not to mention it'll be nearly impossible to shoot from any form of retention with that blast |

It actually took a while to be able to stop the video and find it. |

Also don't like the idea of gasses coming up if you have to fire from retention position. |

Unless you've fired a ported pistol IN THE DARK you have no idea.
I have had to qualify on night shooting twice a year for almost 32 years. My KKM Hybrid barreled Glock doesn't affect my night vision. |

I still think it would be fun to shoot some handloads with Alliant Power Pistol out of it

I have fired one in the daylight (neighbor's gun); didn't notice any flash. I shot it side by side with a M&P9C, there was not any difference on the target. At night - I'll have to see if I can give it a try, and yeah, I don't really want a ported gun for SD either.

Stealthgear or Raw Dog That's great, I looked up that raw dog brand and it's exactly what I was after. Not sure how it will fit, but it seems like what I have had pictured in my head. I don't understand he need for 2 square feet of leather to hold a shield in place. |
