In a recent thread on using revolvers in defensive pistol shooting competition, an experienced revolver shooter remarked that he generally scored about 30% higher with a five inch barrel than with a four inch barrel.
By pure coincidence, I had just acquired a 686 Pro Series seven shot revolver with a seven shot cylinder and a tapered underlug.
I like the balance better than that of a a friend's four inch 586.
I always ask for permission to dry fire, but if the answer is no, no sale.
