    Hi. Short barrels like that on a mass scale is not something they see in Europe often. They also hold a lot of liability, so have to think about what ifs? Ie if someone put an over pressured reload into a short barrel with a blockage etc. they were more comfortable with the D18 as it is thicker around the chamber and believed a short stiffer barrel would be more forgiving with a range of ammo for accuracy guarantee.
