S&W Shield Plus PC | Ported vs Non-Ported Performance Test
This review compares the Smith & Wesson Shield Plus Performance Center (PC) with a ported barrel against the standard non-ported Shield 2.0. Velocity tests conducted at five yards showed no significant velocity loss due to porting, with the ported model even averaging slightly higher. The analysis also covers the subjective trade-offs of porting, such as reduced muzzle flip versus increased concussion and noise.
