Recently got an offer to buy a smith and wesson model 29-3 with

Only well to tell is to pick it up. Ergonomics is purely subjective,

Me, I like a 5.5" or 6" barrel on any wheelgun. Less bark, less muzzle flash, less muzzle rise. And... this may sound dumb, but it looks menacing as hell.

Six inch is the best barrel length you could possibly get on a model 29 or a 44 mag in my opinion. But that is irrelevant seeing as they are offering you it for a great price. Buy it and if you don't like it sell it. I bet you would even turn a profit on it if you did.

This. There's a reason Dirty Harry's is a 6 inch. It's not laughably short. It's not ridiculously long. It's just right.

Hmm alright thanks guys.
I think im going to give it a shot.

Makes me wonder though, if a 4inch would outclass a 6 for innawoods handcannon/cc.

Either way, that 6inch is pretty slick.

Good God do I ever love blued steel.

A 4 inch barrel would have a tiny bit more recoil due to the reduced weight and slightly less range.

Ive heard of guys hitting dinner plate targets out to 400 yards with ease using the 4".
Alot of people say that the range / accuracy is pretty close.

That's a testament to how well made the model 29 is I guess.
