Hey Pros! A good friend of mine just had his Glock 26 "hybridized", as the smith called it. It has three small holes all in a row on top of the slide right after the front sight and holes were also drilled in the top part of the barrel. I think this is called a ported gun. I fired a few rounds today and the difference was some smoke jetting out of the top of the slide and the tendency of low shots. I attributed the first problem to maybe the handloaded rounds(?). The second problem would probably be solved by adjusting the sights.
Lastly, the white dot of the front sight turned black from the gunpowder after a few mags worth of firing. We had to scrape the stuff off with our nails.
You can tell both my friend and I are new to this thing. Did he just make a big mistake or is there logic to this? Thinking of doing the same to my Glock 26 and HK USP .40. But don't worry, I will not make a move until I hear from you professionals. Thanks in adnvance.
