Since duck hunting usually means people in the blind really close to you, I would be leery. Ported barrels are significantly louder. Not to you, but to the people beside you.

They also tend to "spit" hot gas, powder, maybe even lead shavings, off the the side. People close to you (beside you) will not like it.
