Porting, Felt Recoil, Muzzle Rise??
Will porting reduce felt recoil or is it used to reduce muzzle rise for better subsequent shots?
Looking at the Springfield Armory V-10 will this pistol as a .40 or a Sig .357 feel like a normal 9MM? What about porting a 9MM or is this "lipstick on a pig"?
I cannot get a lot of info at the local shops as they tend to want to sell what they have in stock - can't blame them for that.

Porting is largely overrated for most defensive handgun use and results in a loss of velocity to the bullet. For target shooting, the matter is one of taste. It's really mostly for big bore/magnum loads and some 22LR target shooters. I have a removable port for a .357 Performance center gun that I have yet to use.
Porting is mostly for muzzle flip, not felt recoil. 40/357 sig have more kick than a 9mm, but not much for an experienced shooter. I don't think they should pose any problem.

I agree porting is attractive for some reason,and benefits a firearm very little unless you start talking about the bigger guns.
Best!!
