Thanks for featuring us Ben! I appreciate it a ton! Super cool to be featured alongside other great options!

Porting just works! I think the people bashing have just never tried it. I have fired in darkness and was never blinded. I have fired ported J-frames from inside jacket pockets and there was no fire to my clothing. Anything that helps mitigate recoil and increases followup shots is worth having. Porting has come a long way. I am an old head used to magnaporting and Glock 19c's. The stuff coming out now is very impressive but also very expensive. Thanks for your video

I also have a 7 port done, just like the MT, but done local to me in Philly at Printz F ireA rms. Totally changed the handling of my 5" Prodigy. Amazing

Well done. I’m a huge fan of the MT Lucky 7’s as well. The most expensive and lead times are long but worth it. Always wanted to compare to their Ghengis comp. 🤘

I have a G34 with Legion Precision porting. Thing shoots like a dream.

Sent my echelon slide out to get ported can’t wait for it to come back feels like forever!

Porting absolutely is effective. If it wasn’t I don’t think Glock would’ve sold their “C” model guns, or smith and wesson with some of their performance center guns.

Ports are a part of my religion. I prefer a lighter rsa personally but they are not required as you stated. I find they cycle better and lock back more reliably for me even with my high grip.

I’m on the wait list with Monsoon Tactical to get lucky 7’s porting on my Echelon and Staccato P. Can’t wait

PORT EVERYTHING!! Thinking about porting my Axg legion I wonder how that will be with it already being comped?

Love the video first timer here. Been waiting on a video like this to hit my feed, going to port my Sabre Dagger

I wish arc would've kept the bronze barrels

I used Tampa gun werxs my oz9 was really flat, I would get your stuff done asap , when I sent mine in the turn around was 4-5 it doubled in a week so I expect it to keep getting longer and longer

I need to try out ports one of these days, maybe on the Staccato P. I have micro comps from PMM and Radian and have been extremely happy with them. Thanks for the info!

1:30 I would describe it as, it returns, your gun to the original point of them sooner. Vs “flat “

Thanks,B

Thanks for the info! Would be cool to have the prices included on each of the different options

Longer barrel should help with ports just because it’s a more advantageous lever.

Nice video. Some of what you said reminds me of a video I made a while back.

3:25 "Does a longer barrel help ports? - a longer allows more gasses to build up" The amount of gas generated from any given round is going to be identical, even if you have a 0in barrel. However, the further the ports are down toward the end of a barrel will allow better velocity because the gasses have had more time to expand. A longer barrel would accomplish distancing the ports

I am curious about combining porting with a comp on the end. Tier1concealed talked about it in one of their videos, but I’m more concerned about the point of diminishing returns when it comes to porting VS comps, or combining the two, especially with the ramjet. If you comp a gun and then have it ported too, but you run hotter ammo like nato pressure 124 grain as your standard training ammo to take advantage of the extra pressure and gas, at what point is it going to be detrimental or overcompensating? If we’re chasing the dragon of recoil elimination in handguns, we might as well rule out all the possibilities right?

Great video. Super torn between Luck7’s or RamJet for my g45.

I liked comps but I’ve gravitated to porting instead. Less issues with logistics.

I run a ZEV OZ9C with a ramjet, tungsten guide road and 15 lb spring. Nice and flat with great return to zero. After a lot of testing with spring rates from 13 - 18 I settled on 15. Been thinking about Lucky 7 or DSC V8 for my Staccato P but haven’t decided. Any experience between the 2 port styles? It’s steel frame and doesn’t really need it but it’s fun to play.

What’s your thoughts on the Glock 19c? Is it a worthy option?

NCEngravers do awesome ports also

Does monsoon back bore their ports too?

I see your green g19 slide is a TradeCraft Armament. I have the very same cut with the included 10 hole porting. Is there any reason you went away from that?

Would have been awesome to see the comparison including AlphaDog where the ports are cut on the right and left sides of the slide allowing you to better focus on the rise and fall of your dot!

And you prefer the SRO as well?

6:58 - ive seen guntubers sacrifice their face and arms, shooting ported guns from retention. It is definitely not just gas expelled. Shards of copper jacket and lead are ejected and can be deeply embedded in your skin. Nightwood Guns channel fired many different types of ports, including ports created via EDM, and those still ejected shrapne - shown on video Im not saying dont carry ported guns, just be aware that in close retention firing, it can potentially permanently blind you (id not be concerned with small shrapnel hitting your arms in a self defense use, just the eyes)

Is it laser cut or EDM?

I want to see ported with a comp

Is either of the monsoon tactical slides nitride coated. I’m concerned that cerakote won’t hold up to edc.

3:30 what spring weight do you have going on for your mac defense porting package?

I have a Glock 19C and XMacro and they are pretty legit for a factory guns!

Do you recommend three or five ports from Mac defense on a Glock 34?

In your experience, how does a ported G34 shoot compared to a comped G19? By comped I mean "really" comped (KKM, PMM Ultra, 417 dual port, etc.) I've got this wild idea in my head that a ported G34 would shoot 95% as well as a comped G19 without the reduction in reliability envelope.

I live in Tampa florida, I just did a search for Tampa Gun Works in absolutely nothing comes up, what is the actual name of the place you were talking about? Is it even in tampa? Cuz it's not called Tampa Gun Works

I personally love my arc division.

Same same

I would know that run anywhere 🥰🥰😂😂

A want my g.

Ramjet beats the ARC slide.

I noticed your guns aren’t locking back when empty

I thought this was going to be about drinking Port wine…

Port or die

WOW!!!…. I really am spoiled apparently Lol my guy is 1-3 days for porting with 1 cerekote color finish. I drop it off on Friday and pick it up Monday morning 🤷‍♂️ haha YES!!! He’s a licensed machine shop, not billy Bob with a drill press Lol 😂👍 the catch is, he ONLY does 3 brands and refuses to do ANYTHING “adventurous” 😢

verified historical fact: The hk vp70 had multiple ports within the first 2 inches of barrel which lowered velocity to subsonic, approximattely 380 velocities. the HK mp5ks had ports within 2 inches of barrel to reduce velocity to subsonic, apprximately .380 velocities apparently uneducated, schizoid ramblings: if you put ports close to the chamber in your barrels you'll lose significant velocity. i'll take ports after the 3.5" mark and not a mm before, than you

Gamer nonsense that guy's who use these in a martial sense totally ignore. Go play with your little toy little boy.
