By "standard", do you mean 9mm??? if so, yes, it is ~3/16" shorter than the 9mm.

If you are measuring the exposed portion of the barrel, that is from the receiver to the muzzle, the 7.65mm bbl is ~3.00"; the 9mm bbl is ~3 3/16". (This is with a scale & eyeball; not a verniers).

Holding my commercial Luger up to my monitor, the barrel looks right for a 7.65mm.

Closeup pics always look warped.
