That's great to know, and for me that is counter-intuitive. I thought the longer barrel would have the tighter pattern and greater effective distance, but I guess in the longer barrel the shot has spun up more and flies apart at exit?

Anyway then, the 2.625" barrel on the 629 is perfect - although I have eyeing .357 PC 627 8 shot.
