Ported barrel for minor loads

[b2e]

Does a ported barrel in a G34 make any difference when shooting minor loads? I'm using 125gr 38 super Zero bullets and 3.8gr Titegroup.

Definitely yes. Imagine thruster jets right above your barrel pushing it down when you fire a round!

Lone Wolf sells quality G34 ported barrel cheap. Try it you will like it.

I have a LWD 6 port barrel for my G34 and like it alot.

I'm a bit more skeptical.

"Make a difference" to me means a measurable performance difference. We can measure speed and accuracy.

Minor loads are already pretty wimpy. I'd wonder what could be done to improve the grip and stance.

Ports don't do jack. The reduction in muzzle rise a compensator provides is NOT due the gas escaping out the ports vertically, it is the reduction in recoil from the gas entering the comp expanding and slamming into the front wall of the compensator (creating a forward force offsetting the recoil impulse). I have about four different ported barrels. They look very cool, don't do a thing other than that.

Of course, I never would argue that placebo effects are not completely real to the person convinced they are real.

I know I can tell a difference using factory Ammo.
