I'm about to buy my first .357 revolver, probably Ruger GP100 or S&W 686. The gun will be used mainly for non-competitive target shooting on 25 meter (about 27 yards) range using mostly .38 Special ammo, but also .357. I'm still wondering if I should buy 4" or 6" barrel length gun.

How much difference in accuracy on 27 yards I should expect between 4" and 6" guns?
