How to Put a Nonported Barrel in a Glock 19C
Glock manufactures its C-model pistols with two slots cut into the top of the barrel and the upper receiver. The purpose of the slots is to divert gases upward when the weapon is fired, which pushes the pistol downward to compensate for recoil. Glock develop this technology primarily to keep the weapon on target during rapid-fire shooting. The disadvantage of the system is that you have muzzle flash coming from the top of your weapon, which may be distracting. You can remedy this easily by replacing the compensated barrel with a standard barrel.
