Greetings friend Jayco,
If a ported G doesn't bother you, you almost certainly have more hearing damage than you realize. I have owned multiples of both ported and unported units, and the ported models definitely are louder. I once fired 3 rounds from a ported G into a stump after a few frustrating days of fruitless bear hunting in Michigan's U.P., and my ears rang for 3 days. The unported units are definitely not as loud. Be careful of the hearing you have left. I need you to hear me when I holler for help to carry out my first elk.
