I don’t know that it would make much difference, but I do wonder what the velocities would be across the various sized barrels in same model and in guns in high original condition. I wonder if there is slight difference in velocity between the model 92 & 73 due to the design.

I’ve always saw the longer heavier barrels being possibly more accurate due to increased weight making a more stable shooter. The heaver it is, the easier it is to hold still, especially with a rest!

Sincerely,

Maverick
