Don’t CCW A Ported Gun!
Carrying a ported handgun for CCW presents potential drawbacks like increased noise and muzzle blast, especially in close-quarters retention shooting where upward gas venting can be hazardous. While concerns about snagging on clothing or muzzle flash blinding the shooter in low light are often cited, practical experience suggests these issues may be exaggerated. However, the significant increase in noise and blast without hearing protection is a notable factor.
