keep in mind that there are a few downsides to porting...
there's a lot of crap that will get blasted out of the ports when you fire the gun - dirt in the barrel and un-burnt powder. if you have to fire the pistol close to your body (where the vents might end up pointing at your face) it can be distracting. proper training can work around this, but it's still a bit of a suprise to get a blast of heat and tiny bits of debris in your eyes.
also, the ports create another way for dust and crud to get into the barrel. you use a pocket holster, for instance, you will accumulate pocket lint and the like in the barrel. this can aggravate the problem above (particles blasted out of the ports when firing).
anyway, something to think about. i have fired 38 snubbies with and without porting, as well as glocks. if the recoil is a real big problem for you, porting may be a good idea. if not, i'd probably go unported just to cut down on potential problems.
