Free Pistol Barrel Length?

Watching 50 meter free pistol shooting on the You Tube it seems that most of the Morini pistols have pretty long barrels on them. Is it just an optical illusion? The specs on the pistol list the barrel around 11”, they seem longer. Or are they sold in Europe with a different specification? Or are they commonly re-barreled?

They deliberately hang stuff on the end of the barrel to make you think you're getting more technology for your money.

LOL they do have some strange looking muzzle breaks.

Just a tube for longer sight radius. Just like the idea behind the Morini CM80 of 20+ years ago.

Thanks! I must be seeing a full length shroud/tube with the muzzle break attached.
