I don't think I've seen one with a ported barrel shown in any of the pictures of this variant. Comments welcome. BTW, I shoot this old pistol frequently and it is accurate - beautiful trigger, too. Decock only, contrast sights, and had the Hogue grips on it when I got it. Of my eight 3rd GEN pistols, I'd have to say this is a favorite - the effort that the Performance Center folks put into this gun are apparent in the way it handles. It is truly one of those pistols where the extra attention to detail is truly transparent.
Not necessarily pretty - but darn sure functional.
