i know nothing about ported barrels-what is that and what does it do?

The slide is also ported with 6 vent holes, (3 on ea side), (Barrel has 2), It vents the gases when you fire the handgun and suppose to take away some of the recoil, That's basically the reasoning for it besides it may be a few grams lighter but nothing of any significance.

cool, thanks for explaining it. I love my sheild, it is a fun gun to shoot, and is quite accurate. Not a lot of recoil either

I have not even fired one round out of it yet as i just picked it up but that's what i heard, Recoil is manageable, There's a few indoor ranges near by and a buddy of mine has a nice outdoor one where i sighted in my 6.5 Creedmoor rifle before hunting season but to cold now to shoot outside.

6.5 Creedmoor - going to be a "beanfield hunter" now, looking for those 500-yard shots?  :D

Ha ha, Well i already had a 7mm 08 which basically was similar, I did hit the target at 200yds with the creedmoor as that was at the end of the range, But it didn't have a magazine and was a top load which was a PIA, The creedmoor has a 5 shot clip so i traded that one for the 9mm pistol

Took a few northern Maine deer with a top-loading 7x57 Mauser, but I prefer my current Remington 76 pump (.30-06) with the 4-shot clip.  No shots at game this season - I think my best chance was spoiled when neighbor kids on their bikes spooked a deer that was getting close.  Then my bout with anaplasmosis (plus arrival of nine guests - kids & grandkids) ended my season early on Thanksgiving week.

I took a few with my Remington 30-06 over the years, Traded that in for the 7mm-08 a few years back as the slide was warn and it also would no longer eject the shells so i didn't want to spend more $$ on an older rifle, The 7mm-08 is more recoil friendly as well as the creedmoor as i put a box and a half of shells thru it pre deer season and my shoulder thanked me......lol,  But same here, I saw 1 deer but had no shot and i won't shoot just for the sake of shooting unless i have a kill shot.
