What are your thoughts on porting a factory barrel? Does it help with accuracy or just lessen recoil?

I have a PC Shield 9 that’s factory ported.
Slow fire; you won’t notice much difference. BUT; when you shoot faster (2-3 shots per second), it really comes into it’s own. The pistol just stays pointed straight.
The small ports also don’t cause any problems for concealed carriers, like some compensated guns might. I’ve shot mine from the low retention position, and there wasn’t even any hint of powder fouling on my white shirt.
Previous thinking was that porting a carry gun wouldn’t work, as it’d blow gasses and fouling up into the shooters face (it doesn’t), and blind the shooter when firing in low light conditions (it doesn‘t). I guess that a lot of those fears were from folks reading “porting” and equating that with a compensator.
