Hey guys, some of you talk about a gun that has a really good "feel" to it, that it handles really well.

I was wondering if these guns have a similar point of balance?

I noticed that my SBHH is really barrel heavy (which I am sure helps with steadiness and recoil). What do you guys prefer?

I am not a fan of a barrel heavy revolver, rifle or shotgun. I prefer one that balances in the hand, thus my preference for barrels no longer than 6" on a revolver

I prefer shorter barrels for that reason as well. I don't like 'em nose heavy and frankly, I like the packability of a revolver and have no desire to ruin its handling characteristics.
