Beretta 92 something something barrel porting..

[AllenM]

Did this per customer request, actually looks kinda hot.

That is smokin' cool! Curious... why 4 holes on each side vs 2, round vs elongated... any particular reason for this particular porting configuration?

Wow, that's just an insanely sharp look.

 

[AllenM]

customer requested it so that's what I did

Looks great but I wonder if there is enough barrel to build up enough pressure to completely cycle the slide, especially with the added weight of the sight.

If not. A lighter recoil spring would fix that and help it shoot flatter still

That is pretty hot. Hmmmm…..

BTW @AllenM my GF’s daughter is Olivia L. who worked for you.

Will be interested to know the resulting effects of reaquisition of target and effect on accuracy.

Gotta give the customer what he wants.

Looks interesting, if you hear will you please let it be known. Thanks.

Does he run it in competition, or..?

Lovely work.

Did you cut the holes with the new laser?

Without revealing trade secrets, how do you clean up the burr inside the barrel?

 

[Colt556]

At least you didn’t have the slide to contend with. Looks good.
I was curious about cycling as well but the lighter spring makes perfect sense.

No I used the mill.
I get this question a lot. I think people confuse what the hole will look like using a drill bit vs sharp end mill.

There are no burrs on the inside

Yes that was nice

I have a factory ported Springfield 1911 v12. Holes in the barrel, blowing through slots in the side. It is kind of fun to see the 12 jets of fire coming out of the top when shooting hot loads in low light. I assume that with the higher pressure 9mm rounds there will be some high velocity fire to see.

The down side is that lead and bullet lube gets on the top of my hand and top of my forearm when shooting cast lead bullets.

I run a solid barrel in mine most of the time, pretty easy to have a spare fitted barrel for a 92 or a 1911. Something different in the collection is fun.

Im kinda curious why they ported it.

Beretta sells a ported end that spins right on the threaded barrel for these.
