A: You'd want to buy a non ported barrel, not slide. I have the .40 version of this gun and if shooting indoors (or in the dark) there is a definite muzzle flash. If using a non ported barrel there is none. The slide doesn't get any warmer with porting, the ports just allow gasses to escape out the top quicker to help with recoil.

A: William, this model has both a Ported Barrel and Slide. The Ported Barrel would damage a non ported slide but you could just purchase a non ported barrel and be just fine. Porting does not make the slide any hotter but does increase muzzle flash. --- https://www.blacklistind.com/product/mp-9-shield-m2-0-drop-in-ultra-match-barrels/

A: Ported barrels and or slides will not run any hotter but will cool down faster then non ported. There are a ton of options for replacement barrels standard one here https://www.midwestgunworks.com/page/mgwi/prod/3007072
