handgun shotshells
« on: August 23, 2009, 01:11:37 PM »
Does anyone have any idea why they wouldn't recommend using the shotshells with a ported barrel?  Does it have something to do with the shot catching in the porting or something?  I e-mailed CCI and asked them but thought I'd ask you guys if you knew anymore than I do.  When I hear back from them I'll be sure to post their response.

Probably has more to do with the plastic cup the shot is held in, than the shot itself.

Just a guess though.

How so?  I'm not sure how that would really affect it any.  It might, but I don't see where that would make much of a difference. :dunno:

Maybe the cup leading the shot has a tendancy to blast laterally thru the ports and cause pressure irregularity or surge....?

Ok, so here's the official answer from CCI.

Jeff: very difficult to duck fast enough to not get hit by pellet and/or
capsule fragments that are directed back at the shooter by the ports in
the barrel.  Safety issue for the shooter/bystander as well as the
target.  We would prefer that all of the danger was directed at the
target.
