I have 2 6920s, a Sabre Defense middy w/o the notch and a LMT MRP rifle rail w/o the notch, so I'm indifferent. I prefer the mid-length 16" barrel without the 203 notch, with a rifle rail for comfort and greater stability, but shoot all equally well. Now a pencil barrel with KAC rifle length URX would be the shizzle!
