Perhaps I should more accurately say that the matting doesn't always stop short of the end of the barrels but when it doesn't that always raises a red flag.

My favorite DHE 20 has the matting extend to the end of its 30 inch barrels. The research letter verified the barrel length for me *before* I bought the gun.

"Also, if you like a gun with cut bbls don’t worry about what anyone else thinks. It only matters when it’s time to sell."

And if you are like me, you live by the rule of "Buy High, Sell Low."
