barrel length

[rmj339]

Do most shooters prefer 21 22 inch shotguns or 24 and why?

Thanks for the help

I like 24-26 and here's why...

Most of us are running 12-14 round tubes which mean they are longer than the barrel. I'd also rather have the extra barrel length which increases sight radius for slug shots. It may also pattern better or give you slightly higher velocities meaning I need less choke.

A few more thoughts on the topic

All most everyone uses the 21-22" barrels, except for a lot of folks that use the 24-26" barrels, and the folks that use the 28" barrel. I'd say almost everyone is within 7" of each other.

Running a longer barrel is no big deal. I have a 22"and 26" and never notice the difference between the two.

LOL funny!!

Just get a gun and shoot it.

As long as it doesn't blast the slugs into the county to your left or right you are good to go.
