Ported barrel and Crowning

[Ralph III]

Hello All,
Has anyone ever crowned the end of their Kahr barrel or added ports to it? Otherwise, do you have an opinion on that? I was curious whether any real difference could be expected on my Kahr S9?

I can shoot my S9 quite fast and I find it very accurate. So would a ported barrel and/or crowning allow for even faster shooting with reduced muzzle rise and even greater accuracy? I've just never shot a tuned pistol as such, so I'm not sure if the expected improvement would only be minimal or quite noticeable?

Thanks,
Ralph

I had my K40 magna ported. I didn't see a whole lot of difference. Many say that new shooters would notice the difference more than experienced shooters, no idea if that is true or not. I suspect a ported longer barrel might be more effective. One of the Kahr barrels that are longer and the ports in front of the slide might be more effective.
I don't see crowning having any effect on recoil or muzzle flip, it does sometimes add accuracy especially if the barrel is dinged etc.

I have a factory ported barrel on my K9 and cannot tell any difference.

I have had lots of guns ported....some you feel difference and some you don't.
