I can't imagine this question not having been raised before but I can't find it. Sorry if this is a repeat.

The considerations I can list regarding 3" or 4" revolver barrel length and the weighting factors I would apply to each (1=minor, 5=major) are:

1. 3" is lighter (1)
2. 3" is easier to conceal/draw (2)
3. 4" easier to sight (2 for close range; 5 for longer range)
4. 3" has more flash; an intimidation factor but not great at the range (3)
5. 3" is more balanced ?? (need user comment) (4)
6. 3" looks better ?? (2)

From this, neither barrel length jumps out as the better. Can our forum members comment on this list, both the biases and the weighting factors?

Thanks
