The reasonable assumption is that you are referring to something such as the 'Vang Comp' system. The primary purpose of venting the barrel in any firearm be it a rifle, shotgun, or a pistol is to reduce the impulse of recoil directed into the body of the shooter. Venting a barrel achieves this by redirecting the propellant gases so that a portion of said gas is vented off-axis relative to the barrel.
Not only does reducing this recoil impulse make extended shooting easier by inducing less fatigue on the handler, it can improve accuracy by creating a more stable launch platform for the projectiles being sent on their way with each shot.
