LOL, it's not even my pistol, so I don't have to like or defend it. I was just describing it.

 

If porting and compensators have issues, where does the use of a recoil reduction system (steel guide rod and springs) come in? I haven't seen any research with empirical data on muzzle rise differences and felt recoil. Yesterday, I received and installed Springco's set-up, the one that comes with the white spring, so I have ordered a yellow spring (based in their recommendation). Haven't shot it yet.

Again, for accuracy and faster follow-up, would a recoil reduction system have the same 30 to 36 percent reduction in recoil?

 

I haven't seen any research with empirical data on muzzle rise differences and felt recoil.

That's because true objective data comparing recoil/muzzle rise with the commercial recoil reduction systems, ports, etc is not available. That subject was discussed and cussed ad nauseam 12-18 months ago with no data discovered. The subject becomes too personalized so any experimentation is up to the individual.

 

The amount of recoil reduction is linear to the how much lighter ones wallet has become.

 

Now that's funny. Maybe the direct proportionality to recoil reduction and wallet lightness is illusory; nothing happens as one's wallet becomes lighter. What the heck, I'll save time and money by going out and buying a .22 cal target pistol with a silencer. Or a BB gun!

 

But I'm still gonna get my barrel ported.

 

Interesting vid.
