I agree with Johnny, it is what the shooter can do with the weapon. When you take the human factor into place the longer site radius (yes the Navy is the longest of the three barrel lengths 4, 6, 8 as already mentioned. Has to do with the placement of the rear sight)is a benefit. The sight radius is important assuming one can see the sights. Some of us old guys need a short barrel to SEE the front sight blade well. I got progressive bifocals and it helped me a lot! I shot the Navy barrel length the best I would say! I have never shot a carbine which might be interesting! Bis Spaeter!! And I like the civil tone of the disagreements, it lends hope to the character of this excellent forum! ~Thor~
