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 ..

depending on cal. 38/357-4",44-6"

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.

How long for permits in STR, I used to live on Dover rd in bamber.

Dave my permits took 58 days for 2 permits , I was interested in getting it in 357 .

I prefer a 6" but honestly a 4" is great too. You just have to have both eventually.

I would look @ ruger gp100 4". built like a tank. or a sp101, with 3" is a nice shooter also.

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.

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"

Alec was right the first time. IDPA restricts barrel length to 4.2" maximum.

IDPA is stupid !

Neener, neener, neener

6" unless you want to carry or shoot IDPA with it

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..  

I'm looking for one with a 4" barrel. To me the proportions just look better.
