The wife and I went with the 4" GP100. Both of us felt the full lug barrel made the 6" gun too muzzle heavy. However, we do not hunt.

We have a 6" Security Six which is a great long barrel gun, as are our 6" S&W Model 19s. But, for us, a full barrel lug and a 6" barrel are not a great combo, at least in .357 mag. Maybe for a .44 mag, but the .357 simply doesn't need a barrel that heavy.
