I am not doubting what you say Jon or George. Merely stating MY own personal preference. The major reason I took to short barrels was that they are easier for me to carry when walking behind dogs or when pulling up to shoot over pointing dogs. I have just never favored any barrel over 28 with 26 being my preference until I latched onto the pair of short Citoris.
