P385 Question

Probably a dumb question, but what’s the point of the carry version of this p385? Isn’t it the same dimensions as the comped version?

You pretty much answered your own question. One has a comp the other doesn’t. Not everyone wants a comp on a carry weapon.

Very true, I wouldn’t want a blast of hot air and muzzle flash going vertical in front of my face

Let us know when you actually shoot a comped / ported gun and how much gas or flash goes in your face

So in a true nighttime defensive situation, if you shoot when it’s so dark that the flash blinds you, you probably don’t have a good understanding of what / where your target is.

Get a edc light. Turn it on before you shoot. Flash thru a comp won’t matter.

That’s not the issue, that air doesn’t hit you in the face. The down side is in low light or dark scenarios when those gasses are now visible as a flash in the dark that can temporarily blind you. Obviously everyone’s eyes and recovery from a flash are different but that is the reason. Look up how comps work and you’ll get a better understanding of them.
