ML II Thumbhole (Phil),
If you are looking for an excuse to port your Ruger, go ahead.
However, it may or may not be an advantage in shooting bowling pins.
I'm no expert, but porting may or may not reduce the bullet speed.
(smaller bullets need the speed)
If it is used primarily as a carry gun, you might want to do more research. There are those that claim the upward blast is blinding in low light scenarios.
If you bring your 3 inch 629, consider using downloaded ammunition.
The mighty 44 magnum loads certainly blast the pins off the table, but the additional time to recover from recoil slows the shooter considerably, which leads to the other shooter winning.
If you bring your 45 auto, consider using ammo loaded hotter than average.
The standard pistol shooting fundamentals apply. Remember to focus on the front sight not the pin. Take time to aim, you cannot scare the pin off the table, you must hit it squarely.
Hope to see you this month - May 23, 2009 (Welcome Race fans)
