I'm looking to get a .22LR revolver for general target shooting and plinking. In short, something just for fun.
The plan was to get a used S&W or Colt, but I'm not sure about the barrel length. All of my prior revolvers have been centerfire with a 3" or 4" barrel, so I lean toward a 4" barrel, but since It's not like I'm using it to "train" for my other revolvers, I can also see the benefit in a 6" or 8" barrel.
I noticed 6" guns do tend to be a bit pricier, but not that much more. Assuming gun costs are the same, any thoughts on the best barrel length or will it even matter? Thanks.
