When lead is spit from the barrel/cylinder gap it is because the cylinder throat is out of alignment with the forcing cone. Lead/jacket does not simply come off a projectile as it travels down a barrel.

Much of the aftermarket porting is done through EDM so there are no sharp edges to worry about. However if there were, you can't possible believe that the manufacturer is too stupid to remember to de-burr their work

It is a shame that you are on the Left coast of the country while I am on the Right. I would gladly take you to the range so that you can gain personal experience with various styles of Ported firearms shooting live ammunition.
