I am watching a coupla auctions (hope I'm not interfering with anyone here watching the same ones) as I have mentioned I have a lonely holster to fill, ha.

Anyway, the first one states a 5-3/4" barell. It looks longer than that as the loading rod seems too long to me. The second link to auction shows a 5" barell, and the loading rod is extremely short. I know the cameras always add 5 pounds to people on screen, but does it make loading rods look shorter or longer. Something don't seem right between these two.

Any advice appreciated.
I would prefer to to have the steel frame .31 over the brass frame .36, but it just don't look like the 5-3/4" advertised length.
