After all of this navel-gazing, I'll likely have to try a 2-inch gun someday. The concept is just too-intriguing for me to ignore it forever. The one thing that might hold me at bay a little longer is the lack of longer barrels in these guns. To me, 28-inches would be perfection but you almost never see that length available. I've nothing against 26-inch guns except that I stuggle a bit with them (I do like to be able to hit things).
