Well yer gonna hate me for this Dr Muttly..... I had the 329PD magnaported after I saw a recent gun rag article that said it took the bite out of the critter....

Well it did indeed. With 240gr factory Hornaday fodder it shoots like a 357 magnum and is very easy to plink with and you'll grin and wet yer diaper when ya shoot 44 specials in it....almost light 38 special wadcutter like in recoil using the 200 gr GDHP's from CCI Blazer. I have found my perfect carry rig I think for woods and wheeling and the day the old 1911A1 gets too heavy for urban excusrions to the gedunk'n go trips at Oh dark thirty.....

The dual magnaport vents work so well that I had to look at the ammo again to make sure I hadn't loaded it with light 44 special target loads...... Awesome modification for a 44 mag.

And it isn't like a brake that is LOUD...ER it is just a recoil reducer and blast / noise remains normal for a 44 mag.....

I am gonna have to play with it at night to ensure I don;t get the flashbulb blinding that some ported handguns and ammo has. I may have to work up a load that has zero flash and that is a perfectly possible thing as I have done it for my 357SIG calibers of my comped glock and it works well, allowing one to maintain their nightvision during a dark event......

..not hate...this makes a good horserace...and good field of discussion.....but then again, not sure if apackof2 realizes we are dealing with a person who is fond of his .460 Weatherby rifle....the famous one which African trackers run behind to get away from the so loud it hurts thunder coming out of its perforated muzzle.

Ok...there are probably variations in pistol porting, forward facing holes, all sorts of things -- I have to nod to your experience, and approve of your particular design. As long as it does not puff into Muttly's face (we hate that), or make his ears stand on end. Setting fire to his whiskers is right out.

Michulek's speedshooting was done with a compensated revolver, but held straight out in front. The more velocity going past it, the better the ports work. I heard that they are especially good in 10mm.

As you point out, self inflicted night blindness is a consideration too...perhaps a major one. I just like the idea of sending all my havoc downrange, where stuff is supposed to get messed up, sound-wise and everything. Just a Muttly idiosyncrasy. It may interest you to know that me have such things, as a concession to regular people, so they think I am not perfect. I work at it, as a public service. Semi-Benevolent Absolute Dogspotism is like that, all heart and consideration for the little people. We know which side our kibble is buttered by, and on whom. Technically.
