IMHO, in addition to giving you a longer sight plane, the longer tube also helps you follow through with your swing. Longer barrels have always worked better for me. Maybe a new generation of young shooters is finding out what the old timers already knew. I guess I have graduated to "old timer".

On the collector side, maybe the lower number originally manufactured in that barrel length?

Kind regards,
