How long should your gun's barrel length be?

I thought the below article was a good read. It covers shotguns to handguns. Like the author advised, I assessed my needs, layed down my money, and made my choice. I went with a stainless steel 16" barrel.

The author doesn't sound like he's very knowledgable to me. This isn't rocket science.

FUNCTION DICTATES FORM.

Base your decision on how you plan on using your firearm.

PERIOD.
