My Marlin camp nine taught me all I needed to know about long barreled nine's. There isn't a significant velocity gain, as in a .357. Side by side with a 94AE, even the .38 special seems to shoot better. It's the case size which is too limited. I've never heard of Marlin being a slouch for accuracy. I have HK handguns that easily shoot better with the 9mm. I believe it's the rounds limitations in a long barrel.
