Ok, I had to check. My 28" barreled straight grip gun measures just under 4 5/8", and the balance point is about 1/2" behind the hinge pin. Where is the balance point of the larger stocked gun with 26" tubes? I would think the shorter barrels and larger stock would place the balance point well behind that.

We didn't measure the balance point Chad and he took it home with him after we compared our Repros today. Incidently, his gun with the apparent 0-frame stock and 1/16" longer LOP weighs 3 oz. less than my gun: 5 lbs. 6 oz. vs. 5 lbs. 9 oz.
