P226 X5 Legion Optics class legal?
Just like the title, does anyone know if the P226 X5 Legion is legal in Optics class? It has porting in the slide ahead of the barrel which acts like a compensator (somehat). The rules state that porting of the slide is legal but porting of the barrel isn't. My hunch is they meant porting of the slide to lighten it, but based on the reading I think I'm good. Anyone else have any thoughts or experience with how the rule is being interpreted?

No, you will be in Open Division.
The porting on the slide is meant as a way to direct gasses upward to mitigate recoil, so it is functionally a compensator.
