I'm looking to purchase a Ruger Single-Six .22 mag. Based on what I want/need, and the homework and research I've done, I've decided to buy this gun; however, I'm undecided on the barrel length (6 1/2 inch versus 5 1/2 inch).
From what I've read, I get the impression that the extra length equates to higher cartridge velocity and better accuracy (greater ability to aim down a longer barrel) (I may be wrong). I'm not sure that 1 inch will make that much of a difference, but I wanted to get input from other folks to see what they know about this and/or prefer.
The other factor I'm thinking about is, will the 6 1/2 inch barrel be a bit long and cumbersome when drawing the gun from a holster?
I welcome any feedback. Thanks so much!
