Nice work and interesting gun. Those are some quite large ports in the top of the barrel.
I'm curious to see amount of flame/particles that comes out of them.

Thanks for the comments...Actually the Barrel is left that way so that I could add another Port or two.
I started with two so that I could see what was necessary to keep the gun level after recoil.
The 38 Super is a flat, fast shooting round and the ammo that I have used with the test moves at 1380fps.
Nice round for Steel Challenge, or as a hunting side arm.
The slide and barrel are both Fail-Zero finished, so that it cleans up after shooting very easily and quickly.

Years ago I had a S&W performance center .357 with a ported three inch barrel.
If you held a piece of cardboard over it and fired it it would shave enough material off the jackets they would fly out and penetrate the cardboard. I sent it back to Smith. They checked it and said it was normal. So upon receiving it back I fired a model 686 6 inch ported gun and it did same thing.
Now the ports definitely worked and kept muzzle flat but I had bought the three inch gun to carry and shooting from the hip was definitely not possible as it would blow everything up into your face.

Your gun I imagine will be shot at arms length and you probably won't experience same thing.

Yep, Arms length is the way to go with the 38Super Racer.

As far as the amount of Flame, think Race Car (Rail) on a Drag Strip. The Flame can not obly light your cigar

but could cook a nice "T-Bone"
