I have to respecfully disagree. I shot both versions and I purchased the ported 45 Shield and feel there is about a 15-20% reduction in muzzel flip and felt recoil. I would not have spent more money on the ported version if I did not notice a difference. I have a thread about my PC Shield 45. Either way you have to get what you want.
