This video compares the ballistic performance of a 3-inch non-ported Smith & Wesson 686 Plus against a 4-inch ported Taurus 608, both chambered in .357 Magnum and firing Hornady American Gunner 125-grain XTP ammunition. The test involved chronographing muzzle velocities and firing rounds into ballistic gel to assess penetration, expansion, and wound channel disruption. The results showed remarkably similar performance in gel despite a notable difference in average muzzle velocity.

This review of the Smith & Wesson M&P Shield Plus Performance Center 4-inch ported model highlights its surprising recoil mitigation due to the ports and enhanced grip texture, making it manageable even with Plus P ammunition. The included Crimson Trace red dot and new flat face trigger are noted as significant upgrades for concealed carry. The reviewer, Roger Barrera of QVO Tactical, demonstrates its performance in drills and discusses holster options.
