I have a CZ BRNO ZH102 skeet gun with 26" barrels. The barrels certainly impose no handicap on the gun's performance. Shoots as well and as easily as the Perazzi Mirage skeet gun with 27" barrels. The Perazzi may be more capable at international skeet but the BRNO is rather my choice for NSSA actually.
I can't imagine that 25" barrels would impose any hardship either. I get along fine with short barreled guns but we all know what an insensitive clot I am.

Have a day
