With the plummeting population of game birds, grouse, woodcock, quail etc, longer barrels came into popularity shooting clays.

The lovers of 'quick' short barrels are alive and well, but 28 is the new 26. My dad, in his later years, favored 26" guns, but remarked that when he was growing up, everyone wanted a 30" gun. I keep a few still, but like my 28" and 30" guns equally. They look good arranged that way too. I think, like so many other things we feel strongly about, these things go in cycles.
