    What barrel length is your cup o tea?

    Ok! Everyone likes a diffrent size barrel, I like a 10" cuz I play front and I like the little 7 inches or so only sticking out of my wonderous mag . What do you like? What position(front, back, mid) do you play with yours?

    ENDO!

      12 inch or shorter. Preferably 10. Ideally I'd have everything from 8 to 12, but right now I just have my 11.5" Autospirit (not that I'm not thrilled with it, but I'd like to have something shorter.)

        I'm with u Major. The shorter, the better. 'thing is, most barrels have muzzel brakes, or Porting, so u need a good amount of effective barrel lenght.

        10" is just right.

            I'm a 12-14" man. I've always liked having that little extra.

                          Yes that is true. With a 20" Barrel the balls will go 8" futher than with a 12" barrel if you measure the distance from the grip frame...

                            10 - 14"

                            I prefer something between 10" - 14", I usually go towards the latter end of that prefrence.
