I have a Ruger super redhawk that I would like to have ported. I love the way it looks and the reduction of muzzle flip. Now someone told me that it wasn't a good idea cause it would create buildup all over the exterior of my ss or nickled plated finish...(I'm not sure which it is)...Is this true? I mean all you would need to do it clean it very well after your done shooting every time right?

Re: Porting my 44 magnum!
I had Magna-Port, port my Desert Eagle and did not have a problem with buildup. It was the single best thing I ever did to it. It also depends on the powder. Dirty vs. clean.

Re: Porting my 44 magnum!
If you want to shoot heavy cast bullets at full bore, you may regret it. The ports blow off all the lube when the bullet passes them and the last inch or so of the barrel leads heavily, ruining accuracy. I did it to a .454 Casull some years ago. Sold it to a guy who only shot jacketed bullets. JMHO

Desert Eagle is a gas blow back, so I ONLY shot jacketed bullets. But that makes a lot of sense.

Well in Magnum Force he says he's using .44 Special, but I agree nonetheless.

Re: Porting my 44 magnum!
I had a couple of revolvers ported back in the eighties. Great job on perceived recoil reduction, but a pantload of ROAR and FLASH.
