Once owned a Springer Ultra Compact that came factory ported, and I have no experience with MagnaPort.

1.) I couldn't discern any difference in recoil between it and any other lightweight .45ACP I own.

2.) I fired it day, twilight, and at night. The flash is impressive at night but I did not find it in any way "blinding". That, for me, isn't a valid issue.

3.) I was sceptical that the ports would pass enough gas to do damage when fired in retention so I set up a sheet of copy paper in a frame to see if there would be scorch marks. I fired the pistol a measured six inches below the paper. The upward blast from the ports blew the paper apart, burned it and blew it out of the frame. Not exactly scientific but I quit carrying the ported pistol.

Best,

Will
