  • Does anybody know if the 2.5" barrel is worth the nominal weight, length, and extra money vs the 2" barrel Public Defender? I can' t find any reviews that distinguish between the two versions. It seems like if accuracy is improved, it might be worth it. Thxs in advance.

  • It is in my opinion David. The nominal velocity increase (Approx. 25 to 40fps depending on load) due to better powder burn is beneficial to the short barrel pistols. There are a few specialty loads that use faster burning powders made specifically to enhance performance in short barreled firearms. It is not a huge difference but a difference non the less. (Depending on the twist, that extra half inch could make a difference in bullet stabilization as well).

  • I would doubt there would be any noticeable difference in performance
