Re: Mag-na-port
kind words appreciated .... no surprise on my part to hear that installing a Mercury Recoil suppressor helped .... from our use in a range of calibers for several decades I have come to regard it as proven technology

Re: Mag-na-port
That's a great factory report. What a fascinating place to wait.
I'm really glad to hear what a difference it made to your guns. It seems to be well worth it.

the Sig isn't mine, it belongs to our oldest son .... it seem to be a nice pistol but I've never fired it .... those who know me will find it as no surprise that I'm and old school wheel gun fan ....Neon Horse wrote:Your Sig looks great!

Re: Mag-na-port
the first firearm I ever had Mag-na-ported was our Ruger Redhawk 44 Mag .... shortly thereafter we sent them our Remington 700 BDL chambered in 300 WBY Mag and our Remington 700 all weather 30-06 .....without doubt (prior to upgrading its OEM recoil pad, adding a Mercury Recoil Suppressor, and having it Mag-na-ported) the 300 WBY had the harshest recoil of any rifle I've ever fired .... it was brutal .... so much so that it took multiple sessions to sight in the scope .... our next candidate for recoil reduction is our early edition Ruger Red Label 12 ga .... its recoil is such that it simply isn't fun to shoot

You can tell a lot about the character of a man...
by the way he treats those who can do nothing for him.

Re: Mag-na-port
earlier today I took our recently Mag-na-ported 12 ga. Remington 11-87 to a sporting clays course and put it through its paces .... as already noted, being on blood thinning medication, reducing felt recoil has taken on a much higher priority for me .... most happy to report that 50 rounds later, no shoulder bruising ..
this coming Wednesday, on our way back home to NC from SD, I have a scheduled to meet 3 friends to spend the day shooting at Jay Henges State Park near St Louis .... weather permitting, I plan to fire a minimum of 100 rounds on their trap ranges (I really hope to fire 200) .... in addition, I hope to fire 50-100 cowboy action level rounds through our Mag-na-ported 45-70 .... last year rain prevented us from shooting while we were there, thankfully no rain in the forecast this year but they are calling for 90+ degrees

Re: Mag-na-port
I have a Taurus Raging Bull in .454Casull that was ported at the factory.
I'm not sure if it is "Magna-port", but the porting makes a huge difference.
My Raging Bull has an 8-3/8" barrel and a full under-lug, so there's quite a bit of heft hanging out there, but I think the porting makes the most difference.
That pistol pushes straight back down the line of your wrist. Absolutely zero muzzle rise.
Reacquiring a target is almost second nature.
Really love that gun.

Re: Mag-na-port
all porting redirects muzzle some blast .... while it is very effective, I don't care for the porting that directs any of the muzzle blast back into the face of the shooter .... the first one I can remember was the old Browning Boss system .... those, I will not fire .... while I don't believe Taurus uses Mag-na-porting, their system looks to be very similar and is one I would be happy to use .... classic Mag-na-porting and Taurus both redirect the force of the force from the blast in directions that ways that stabilize the muzzle .... its a concept that I'm sold on

Re: Mag-na-port
I was wondering about that muzzle blast. Seems to me the more it blows back the more effective it would be at reducing felt recoil.JEBar wrote:all porting redirects muzzle some blast .... while it is very effective, I don't care for the porting that directs any of the muzzle blast back into the face of the shooter .... the first one I can remember was the old Browning Boss system .... those, I will not fire .... while I don't believe Taurus uses Mag-na-porting, their system looks to be very similar and is one I would be happy to use .... classic Mag-na-porting and Taurus both redirect the force of the force from the blast in directions that ways that stabilize the muzzle .... its a concept that I'm sold on
