Firing from retention involves tilting the gun away from my face to about a sixty degree angle and aiming down for a pelvic shot. That's the way to avoid a face full of burning powder. I also wear eyeglasses.
I have a Magna-Ported 629. I do not need to go through any contortions to use it. I do not get a face full of powder, nor burns, or anything else troublesome from it. I use the gun as I use others. It does help in rapid follow up shots with heavier loads. In pitch black the muzzle blast is brighter, bright enough to interfere with night vision. In dim light it has no such effect on me.

I'd post a pic or two but this thread is on the older custom guns so it'd be out of place.
