I actually think it does. The thing is, it's hard to notice. While your gun (usually 12 gauge) is going bang, I am gonna blink. I am also so busy looking for my second target and bringing the gun toward the target that I really don't notice what the muzzle is doing.
If my guns didn't already have this feature, I wouldn't spend my money to have it done.
I've shot my Benellis (ported) with the ports taped up. I noticed a very small difference. It was minimal.
