The design allows a 3.35" barrel length. Look at any subcompact 9mm that and they're typically in the 3-3.12" barrel length range (Kahr PM9, Ruger LC9, Taurus 709, etc.), and are still longer overall.
Good point...but I still would like a longer barrel...3.5 to 4.0 inches and I'm happy (I wonder how many women have said the same thing). The article concentrated on the shorty version of the pistol.
After re-reading the article, I can have what I want - if I wasn't so cheap. According to the author: "The truly revolutionary thing about this handgun, its that it the standard size model uses a 4.2-inch barrel, yet is only 5.8 inches long overall."
I visited Boberg site very impressive. This page has detailed descriptions and images of the pistols Boberg is producing
http://www.bobergarms.com/#!products/c6ae very impressive ballistics.
In the Accessories section for $40 for guys like me I could get the short pistol with an upgrade to a 4.2 inch barrel. I like the way this guy thinks. As far as I know the other manufacturers don't offer this option...have to go to outside barrel manufacturer for a lot more than $40!
Gun is expensive. Looking at MSRP $995-$1399!
