Revolver barrel porting

[dosav]

Where can I find a gunsmith that can port a revolver barrel I have a Ruger Super Blackhawk 44Mag.

i would contact magnaport. send it to someone, who has done research on port diameter / port angle / port placement.

I've availed myself of Mag-na-port's shotgun service (Pro-Port) on two occasions (12-ga pump and 10-ga auto) and have been happy with the results and service. I, however, don't have any first hand experience with their handgun service. Maybe drop them a note and see what they can do for your Ruger. Cheers.

I have had this done to a Super Blackhawk, by Mag-na-port. It is worth the money.

My wife has a J frame 642 that was ported from the factory. The effects are noticeable especially with heavy bullet +P loads and makes it more comfortable for practice sessions with snappy loads.

These guys work seems pretty nice. https://www.geminicustoms.com/ruger-revolvers/

Personally, I don't like ported barrels. I don't want the extra flash or noise pointed in my direction... They also don't help the value of the gun. I'd look into lighter loads and/or more comfortable grips or a gun with a different grip frame like the Bisley.

If you are sure it's what you want, Mag-na-port is known for quality work. You might check with Jack Huntington too.

I had a S&W 686 Plus (7 shot) .357, limited edition, factory magnaported with a 2 1/2" barrel. It was nice, but a snubby that big isn't that useful for me. I sold it to some dude I worked with that I didn't like for a little more than I paid for it.
