I have a stainless Colt Government 38 Super and I'm considering upgrading it with a match grade barrel and/or possibly a compensator or ported barrel.

I've had the gun for a year now and I love it. I've gotten pretty accurate with it and I would like to improve upon its accuracy by upgrading the barrel.

One drawback...I have no idea what I'm doing. I know a fair amount about stock guns but when it comes to up grades I am totally clueless.

So I have a few basic questions for now to set me in the right direction.

What is a bull barrel and how does it affect the accuracy or recoil?

What is a ramped barrel and what does it do?

Are there any major differences between a ported barrel and attaching a compensator? Do they essentially accomplish the same task? Which one is better at controlling barrel rise/recoil?

Aside from a barrel, are there any other modifications that can improve accuracy?

Thanks!
