If a revolver was the only sidearm you had, what length barrel

I'd choose 6" bare minimum for .44 (and it would be a .44 to match my levergat) since anything less tends to be a glorified flamethrower.

>.357 magnum
4 inch

>.44 magnum
6 inch

the longest.

I like my .357s with 6" barrels. Get a ported barrel if possible.

Unless it interferes with your choice of carry, for .357 I'd go with the 6" barrel.
.357 performance over .38 Special is optimal with the longer barrel, and nearly completely wasted with a snubbie. There is a substantial difference in muzzle velocity even between a 4" and 6".

Which revolver has the best, lightest, DA trigger pull?

I saw some old guy at the range holding a super wide stance and leaning over the bench like he was a 70s movie cop using his police cruiser as a return fire cover position.

In his hands was what looked like a S&W snub, which he was shooting DA only. He was hitting bullseyes rapid fire like a mother fucker.

Made me want an old revolver like that, but my 4 inch GP100 has the longest heaviest DA trigger pull of any gun ever, so I would prefer something with a light trigger pull pls respond.

Literally the only revolver I would carry

Assuming we're talking about a .357 or .38, I'd say 4 or 5 inches. Maybe 3
>>30668587
Would be my choice as well. Almost bought one once, they are super nice

>>30668466
If I had a long arm, 4 inch. If it is my ONLY gun, 6 inch.

Why settle for only one barrel length?

>>30668492
I have a 5 inch 629, it doesn't really have any more muzzle flash than the 6 inch barreled Colt Anaconda I used to own.

M&P R8 in .357

its your side arm you don't need to skimp on barrel length. I mean its not like your CCW

How big is the grip on those things compared to, say, a 686? I have small hands (manlet) and I was suprised how well the bigass 686 fit my hand.

7 inch .454 Casull

>>30668466

If you take the time to tailor your loads, pretty much any revolver is just fine with 4 inches.

You can have a really nice DA in any revolver if you let a gunsmith tweak it.
