Porting/Taurus/solutions?/questions

[ironmikestid]

I would like to have some of the calibers offered by Taurus in their line of pistols. However, I cannot bring myself to purchase a pistol that is ported. Wouldn't the porting really bother your vision in darkness or semi darkness? What if you had it chest or waist high and up close. I would think that it could cause some serious eye problems.
I see these larger calibers as being those that would be carried much and shot little. Is there any option for closing the ports or would you just have to find an older model with a non ported barrel?
TIA

I had a similar question very recently and got a good number of replies. The thread was entitled "Taurus revolver porting". Do a search and check it out.
