craZivnIf I remember correctly, .357 will continue to gain velocity all the way out to carbine-length barrels, 18" or more. So surpassing the "optimum length" isn't a concern with a handgun, more is better. Just has to be weighed against the drawbacks.

That, Sir, is way too logical a post for an internet thread...
And, of course, I agree with it completely, as I've read many times the same kind of results and information!!!

That said, I'd heartily recommend the 6" bbl. length for a .357 Mag. revolver.
I found that my RUGER GKGP-161 favors Winchester 110-gr. loads by returning the favor of POA/POI at several different ranges out to 25-yds.
Most satisfying!
