I have so far avoided the Roland treatment of a pistol, put off by the extra length, complexity and concerns over reliability. That bell cow Duke has apparently embraced porting in his Core pistols. Porting seems attractive in you are not increasing overall length, don’t have something to come loose, and I am not aware of porting reducing reliability.
What is the thinking on porting on a carry gun, as in the M&P 2.0 Core pistols with that option?
