Ad from the June 1982 edition of "The Silhouette" shows
Available for immediate delivery: Dan Wesson 8" and 10" non-ported barrel .44 Magnum pistols. Will make official IHMSA weight.
List, $401.15, IHMSA members only $324.00
Also:
Dan Wesson .44 Mag Barrel assemblies complete. BA-44-V10 non-ported and BA-44-VH8 non-ported. Special to IHMSA members, your choice $115 plus $2 shipping.
Man, nice prices! Dan Wesson .44's came with factory ported barrels. IHMSA rules did not allow ported guns in competition, thus these special versions.

Does this mean the shrouds we not ported, or that they shipped with a non-ported barrel?
I went to a bookstore and asked the saleswoman "Were is the Self Help Section?" She said if she told me, it would defeat the purpose.

The ad doesn't say. I would think the shrouds were non-ported also, because it would be difficult to show at gun check-in that the barrel was non-ported without having to disassemble the shroud. Steel shooters didn't like to loosen their barrels as it could change point of impact and require re-zeroing the gun. That is pure conjecture though, as I have no proof.
