Classic SxS game gun came with DTs, splinted and straight grip stock. Even though POW grip would be more practical the stock was made that way to make the gun look sleek and graceful. Being short and husky Churchill came up with 25" gun because he thought long barrels made him look shorter than he actually was. Style dictates shorter barrel for height-challenged people while long barrels are for tall people.
