Do ported choke tubes really reduce recoil or muzzle climb? I’m wondering if there would be much benefit if I went to ported chokes versus the standard chokes that came with the gun. Are they worth the extra money? Thank you.
Yes. A ported choke tube helps reduce recoil by redirecting some of the expanding gases that create recoil out of the barrel and away from your face. This can help make shooting more comfortable and can also help keep your gun on target for follow-up shots.
Not all ported choke tubes are created equal, though, so be sure to do your research before purchasing one to make sure you get a quality product that will work well for your specific firearm.
