Well, my friend I am here to tell you that, that idea is false. Probably the least factor in it.

I always thought it came from the thought that the barrel is machined to be perfectly straight so the longer you could guarantee the bullet was going perfectly straight the more accurate you'd be.

You know I am curious where these old wives tails come from. I was at my familys house in Ky a little while ago. And met up with a old deceased friends father. He showed me a 357mag with 10" barrel and said it would probably shoot 1" groups at 100 yards. It might, but doubtful. he was under the idea that its long barrel would make it so much more accurate.
I just wonder where these crazy ideas come from.
