FishNHard 145 Posted May 7, 2013 I am looking to get a revolver with my other permit and would like to get your guys opinions on which do you think would be better 4inch or the 6 inch .. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
1563621 388 Posted May 7, 2013 depending on cal. 38/357-4",44-6" Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Duppie 73 Posted May 7, 2013 I have both a 3 and 5 inch barreled revolver...that being said I would think that you would have to decide the primary purpose of the firearm. All around a 4 inch is most practical IMO. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

FishNHard 145 Posted May 7, 2013 Dave my permits took 58 days for 2 permits , I was interested in getting it in 357 . Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
henrym 19 Posted May 7, 2013 I prefer a 6" but honestly a 4" is great too. You just have to have both eventually. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
1563621 388 Posted May 7, 2013 I would look @ ruger gp100 4". built like a tank. or a sp101, with 3" is a nice shooter also. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GRIZ 3,369 Posted May 7, 2013 A 4" 357 is the best all around handgun made (which I've said more than twice). You can use it for just about anything. A GP100 or 686 would be my first choice. I would buy a Taurus if it were priced right. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
alec.mc 180 Posted May 7, 2013 what caliber? 38 ? 357? 45? 44 mag? for what purpose? range toy? self defense? competition? if your going to own only 1 revolver, get something like a s&w 686 4" to cover *most* bases.... competition / range use.... 5" or 6" Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

IDPA restricts barrel length to 4.2" maximum. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Pew Pew Plates 358 Posted May 9, 2013 6" unless you want to carry or shoot IDPA with it Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DSD1026 48 Posted May 9, 2013 if i was to get one, it would be a 4" barrel to start with.. GRIZ's choices are top notch as well.. GP100 or SW 686 are great revolvers.. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
laabci 0 Posted May 10, 2013 I'm looking for one with a 4" barrel. To me the proportions just look better. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
