| How are they for self defense? How much less recoil than a non ported model? Thanks |
|
Quoted:
The recoil is slightly less than the comp keeps the barrel down . As for home defense I can't answer that. I hope that I never have to use it that way!!!!! it depends on the caliber and ammo you're using as far as comp effectiveness. I built a comp for my Glock 20 with a 45 degree deflection chamber. it works very well. there is almost no muzzle rise with factory Winchester Silvertips. the hotter you drive the bullet, the more effective the comp is. I make my own Kydex holsters, and it's no harder to CCW this than any other pistol. it is very damned loud indoors. right after I got it threaded and the locktite set up, I shot one round in our shops test chamber. I didn't stick the muzzle inside so I could see how much the muzzle would rise. even with good quality ear muffs, it was retardedly loud, but the muzzle didn't move much.that one round gave me a headache. recoil was just straight back into my palm. it will deafen you in a room with no hearing protection I promise you. I don't think a simple ported barrel would be much louder than normal though.

What sight is it? Thanks! |
