I have had a 3 inch Magna-Ported 629 and now have a 5 1/2 inch Stainless Ruger Redhawk.
I liked the 3 inch Smith & Wesson but coould see no difference in felt recoil after Magna-Porting. The Redhawk's double action trigger is tooooo loooong but, will take any load[s] you put through it. I'd go with atleast a 4 inch, if not longer.
