I love it when Rocketman makes me revisit my high school algebra and college physics! However, I don’t think I would have understood the importance of that explanation if he had not summarized with “ So, changing the barrel length by 2" (say about 4 ounces) would have about the same effect as changing the weight at butt by 16 ounces.” Noodle on that you all and realize that barrel inches really do make a BIG difference in how a gun handles.

That said, as I have had Don tell me again and again, there is no right or wrong with this stuff ( gun feel, dynamics or handling). One man’s preference is another man’s anathema!

Don, I hope you are well my friend! We miss you down here in the Carolinas.
