I went to pick up my new ruger the other day and someone had already bought the 5.5 bull I wanted. Shucks! They still have the 6 7/8 barrel. Does anyone have any thoughts on this. I do play on getting into competition shooting so I want to make the right purchase. Balance and feel are important and from what I have read many seem to prefer the 5.5, but I'd like some more educations information. I'm going to go handle it a bit too to see if it feel right. Thanks in advance for any help you can provide.
