I have Parker (and other make) smaller gauge guns in 30", 28", and 26" and they all are excellent game getters. The shorter barreled Parkers are consistently the best shooting of my 26" guns. I think Parker's tendency for a bit more weight in their guns makes the shorter barreled ones swing better (at least for me), and they balance well "between the hands." Don't shy away from a shorter barreled original gun because of the current popularity of long barrels.
