NicVerAZ Posted March 19, 2012 Share Posted March 19, 2012 Straight out of the USPSA rules (for Limited): 17 Slide ports permitted Yes Ok... What are slide ports? Cannot find anything on Google. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Biloxi23 Posted March 19, 2012 Share Posted March 19, 2012 Holes in the slide, like on the Glock 34, 35, and 24. The barrell cannot have holes/ports for Limited, but the slide may be ported. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sarge Posted March 19, 2012 Share Posted March 19, 2012 Weight reduction. More slide speed. Awesome looks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hi-Power Jack Posted March 20, 2012 Share Posted March 20, 2012 I believe the concept is that much of the muzzle lift (recoil) of a semi-auto is the mass of the slide coming and going during recoil. So, the less mass (weight) of the slide, the less perceived muzzle disruption (recoil). Jack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With the weight reduction on the front of the gun it makes side to side movement quicker. Pat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gunguru Posted June 8, 2012 Share Posted June 8, 2012 For gun with compensator, the mass of the slide may be critical as it reduce the slide is recoil operated. So a less mass slide (ported slide) will run easier. In non comp gun like G34/35, porting the slide allow to have a similar weight slide to G17/22, and then use the same springs ratio. And another plus for ported slide, it allow a better barrel cooling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
