that shot 357 mag can tell you about the flash..
Compared to modern lowflash powders -- we shot flamethrowers!!
The porting at the end of the barrel pales in comparison..
I've been shootin' revolvers for over 50 years, Groo. Yes, all do have a b/c gap. ALSO, all barrels produce flash/blast @ the muzzle when a round is fired. Ported barrels SIGNIFICANTLY add to the problem in low light, because they direct the muzzle flash/blast UP into your field of vision.......
