Again, if you're target shooting, you should be wearing decent hearing protection. 30 yards away at my truck, without hearing protection, you detect a slightly different report, but not necessarily louder.Īre they louder if you are standing 3' away at the side of the muzzle, or if you are shooting up against a wall or in an enclosed space? Probably a bit. With good hearing protection in, I never notice any difference. 2,949: Performance Shop SuperSport 20-Gauge 2-3/4' and 3' 10656 : 28 Carbon Fiber Finish with GripTight Coating, ComforTech 49.6 6.7 lbs. Guys in my squads and on my team shoot both. Performance Shop SuperSport 12-Gauge 2-3/4' and 3' 10634 : 30 Carbon Fiber Finish with GripTight Coating, ComforTech 51.6 7.8 lbs. Then some non-ported Beretta semi's, non-ported Citori's, one Beretta SP, one Japan 101, one Ruger, several 1100's, and a model 12. Even a couple of non-Brownings that are aftermarket ported. Several XS Skeets, 2 or 3 XS Sportings, a couple of Special Sporting Clays (or Lightning SC - I can't remeber which one of those are ported) a couple of Browning Gold Sporting semi-autos, a Cynergy, etc. I think the next time I shoot skeet at Urbandale (hopefully tomorrow night, weather permitting), I'm going to take a photo of all the ported guns in the racks inside the skeet club house.
