Interesting barrel length observation on S/A pistols

[miketx]

On another forum there was a topic about how a semi auto pistol with say a 5 inch barrel doesn't really have a 5 inch barrel because they count the chamber length in with over all barrel length, and they don't do this on revolvers. So, I went and got on of my 1911's that has a 5 inch barrel and measured it. Sure enough not counting the chamber, I only had little more than a 4 inch barrel! The booklet that came with it says it has a 5 inch barrel. I didn't know this. Should I be mad? Irked? Peeved?

5 inches is what the cards dealt gave you. Stick to the "size does not matter" line.

Stop being selfish and be happy. At least your gun is longer than your dick.

When I saw "SA" I thought "Single Action".

My pistol has a 4-inch barrel, disregarding the space in the cylinders.

I was considering one of those cap-and-ball things with an 8-inch barrel. What say yall?

I take that back.
They do apparently measure from the back of the breach.

The way things are measured is often bastardized to become standard. As an example, lumber. I think you will find that a 2X4 isn’t. It isn’t alone, all the lumber measurements are standardized and not what they are claimed to be.

As to how you are supposed to feel. I am afraid that is something you must figure out yourself.
