I have a SW 329PD that really rocked a muzzle flip before I had it magnaported. 2 pairs gave it manners.

Max Prasac has a good book on hunting revolvers.
Worth checking it out. |

My 7" Freedom Arms .454 was Magnaported, it has 4 ports, which makes it a lot more tolerable to shoot.

Magnaport has a fast turn around and is a very good bargain. It really tamed my beast.
  It went from the trigger feeling like it was going to cut my finger off to being as manageable as my .357. It makes quite a difference. |

I've considered getting my 629 ported. There are two downsides that I am aware of.
1. Louder. Sometimes by quite a bit but magnum guns are already pretty damn loud. 2. Ruger won't touch it without replacing the barrel first if it needs servicing or at least that's how it was in the past. We sent a customers gun in for work. The cost was extremely reasonable so it's certainly not the end of the world but some people love to worry about theoretical stuff

In my opinion, I don't see porting being ideal in a hunting situation. You're talking about 1 or 2 shots, likely no hearing protection (ported guns are louder at the ear) and I don't find my 4 5/8 SBH to be uncomfortable to shoot, even with heavy/hot loads. I wouldn't want to throw 100 rounds down range in a sitting, but that's not your intended use.

I’ve never owned a .44 mag with less than a 7” barrel, and haven’t had the need for heavier loads than standard factory 240 grain stuff, so take that for what it is. I find the SBH fairly comfortable to shoot if you don’t try to death grip and overpower the pistol, unlock your elbow and let the weight of the gun tame the recoil.
Damn things are loud enough without porting. |

I highly recommend magnaporting magnum revolvers. Just got back a S&W 629 2.6" .44magnum from magnaport. The porting removed any pain from recoil and made it actually manageable to shoot in .44magnum even with the exposed metal backstrap. Only times I'd consider not recommending it is for low-recoil revolvers like any L or N frame .357magnums.
