and SAA clones. Before choosing one, how did any of you all decide on barrel length? 4 3/4, 5 1/2, 7 1/2" They all hold some appeal.
Torn between 7 1/2 being original issue length, and non-military popularity of the 5 1/2.
Probably depends on what it's for, what you might be shooting with it, expected circumstances, etc. Lots of carrying with little shooting might argue for the handier length; vice versa argues vice versa. And the one that balances best for you is likely the one you'll shoot best. IMO, you can't pick by mail; you need to handle each and decide based on personal feel.
