I have a Benelli M1 super 90 with a 28" barrel. I use it for water fowl but would like to use it for upland as well and camp defence(black bear problem here) I have been considering a 21" or 24" barrel but they are a lot of money and I don't want to get one if it is going to through my skills off on my wing shooting ducks as one barrel to the other back and forth in barrel lenght. My hunting buddies think I should just sell the gun and buy a 24" for an all around compromise. I think that a 24" may not do well from loss of velocity and a shorter barrel and lighter weight would make a crappy swing. What would you do in my position?
1. Sell gun and buy a 24"
2. Buy an aditional 21"-24" barrel
3. Stick to what I have
4. Your suggestion here
Thank you very much for your input.
Last thoughts. I use tungston or bismuth on duck and I always wonder how much of a velocity difference(killing power) is lost per inches of barrel length?
