Finally got my copy of the DGJ. Randy, your article was fascinating. Regarding the 34 inch barrels: is the gun weight forward in its balance? Just wondering if the possible forward weight would help someone that had no hand to "point" and direct the gun actively follow-through. In any event, great piece on an interesting gun and original owner.
