can you get a 1911 ported?

[txnavalaviator]

I have a SA 1911 loaded lightweight champion operator. I was curious if I could get it ported... If this can be done what do you think it would run me?

You can compensate it.

Yes you can. But I am curious, why would you want to?

Not familiar with this particular one but I have a triport that a friend makes in Alaska.....

Bushing comps are pretty worthless.

I was talking about porting like the XD9 V10

Get some experience firing some guns from a retention position before commiting to do something like this. Most find it's not cool to have hot gas in their face. YMMV.

Springfield used to make a ported 1911, I have seen two of them at local shops in the used cabinets. Maybe they still do or can do yours in their custom shop?
