Sorry maybe ported is the wrong word, but not sure what to call that opening on the top of the slide.
When I took a SouthNarc ECQC class I was thinking maybe I would have an issue with stuff coming up my nose with my G34 for certain shooting positions, I know someone else posted that in a SouthNarc course that they used a G19C and ended up with their nose and mouth bleeding..
-edit-
Here is the link to the
post.
Anyway something to think about, although the 19C does have a ported barrel and the 34 doesn't so could be nothing to worry about.
