Gentlemen, I take no offense at any comments made. Healthy discussion and exchange of ideas are the purposes of this board. The versatility of the 28 A&D is an idea that I have been developing for sometime. Perhaps I am The only one that has these crazy thoughts!
I agree that if shotguns were to be made in only one length, I would prefer 28" by a long ways. But nicely there is variety so I can justify some need for another gun with a different length for some obscure and perhaps imaginary reason.
As a matter of fact, I have a 27" gun headed my way right now!
