There must be something to the long barrels, but I am confident most of it is between the ears. I shot pickup truck loads of phez with my 26" 21s before I learned from the internet that this was patently impossible.......yup, even some long 40+ yd pokes. If I'd known you can't hit things past 40 with 26"ers I'd have held up..........
I sold my 26" 12 ga M-21, but will keep my 20s as long as I am able. Target guns? My 12 ga ASE90 and SCIT have 29"+ bbls, so I am derided by the 32" bbl-wielding hordes. And the guys with 34"ers are king of the hill. Funny, but I shoot as well as most of them. Sometimes I even beat the kid and his 30" 391.
What makes for collectible is another matter; a fool argues with the market.
