It's purely a personal thing. I like long barrels others like the short ones. My grandfather taught me to shoot with my barrel arm extended like I was pointing at something rather than bent like most others shoot. His theory was it gave better control. It is natural when pointing at something to keep your arm straight. My hand is well down the barrel when shooting so short barrels don't feel right to me. Also, I don't like to shoot guns with Beavertails since my natural form is to shoot with my hand beyond the reach of these types of forend's and they get in the way for me.
