Personally, I like the 26" barrel (or shorter) on the 870.
I sold an 870 SuperMag to an MDS member a few years ago, NIB. It had a 26" barrel.
I took possession of another 870 SuperMag a little over a year ago (NIB) on a debt owed to me.
It's got a 28" barrel on it. (It's still NIB, in the safe.)
My 'standard' barrel on my 1100 is an old Hastings 24" barrel. That particular barrel has been on that 1100 (except for the slug barrel) since 1984.
The 30" barrel has sat in the back of the safe.
I've been told (by friends), "When he carries that 1100, if it flies..... it dies."
This scattergun just FITS me.
To me, a shorter barrel swings better and is a lot easier to carry.
IF it were "me"............. "I" would cut the 28" barrel. They're more common than the 26". But, then again, that's my preference.
