I know in a rifle it's primarily the velocity of the projectile that changes and not really the max effective range but how does the barrel length effect a pistol.
Comparing three specific pistols I've owned, The Glock 26 w/ a 3.46", The SR9 w/ a 4.14" and the soon to be in my hands P226 w/ a 4.4" what is it that changes?
Use as an example Federal 115gr FMJ w/ a MV of 1125, 50 yards at 1046 and 100 yards at 975.
Thanks
