Exactly. If it fills YOUR need, and YOU are satisfied with the gun, you DID NOT SCREW UP, JMHO.
But alas, it looks like you've got a keeper, the porting is just a innocuous thing. If you like it great, if not then that's fine too. I know in shotguns - shich I'm a little more familiar with, the "ported" chokes debate is still raging and won't be settled till the cows come home. I've gone both ways and really can't tell much difference.
But then again, if you want to throw it out . . . :biggrin:
