28 inch barrels vs 30 inch barrels

[Jerry Parise]

I have to respectfully disagree with a two inch difference in barrel length being purely psychological. I think that a two inch difference in barrel length would yield a measurable difference in inertia. After all, inertia is why we opt for the longer barrel. Especially in a light sub gauge gun where the longer barrel helps our swing in preventing our checking the swing on crossing or quartering birds or targets.

Respectfully, it’s hard to agree with the theory that 2” of barrel length, at what something less than 2 ounces, especially whan Parker Brothers balanced their guns perfectly, would account for a better swing through...? I still think it’s psychological.

But we each havr our own opinions and can respect each other’s position.
