Sorry Newt, forgot about the 18" bbl.
Yea, that was one of those things I struggled with the most when I was deciding what gun to get. I went back and forth a lot on barrel length. I almost got a 20" barreled gun, but in the end it came down to the rest of the features of the gun and I really wanted the most compact gun I could get.
I knew I would be giving up velocity, but I figured I could meet my goal of 2550fps with 140 grain bullets from everything I was reading. Anything around that with good accuracy and I'll be smiling.
