I really don't think the porting is necessary on a 12 guage. Keep in mind recoil is a very subjective thing, but when the birds are cupping up on your decoy spread and your calling and ready to hammer them, you won't feel the recoil, even with 3 1/2 inch mags. A ported barrel is louder, and nobody I know wears hearing protection while hunting. Id skip it.
