a 6 inch barrel is a little more forgiving, easier to shoot accurately

I’ve got one in a 9” that’s shoots real good . It’s a little aggravating to carry sometimes with hip waders on , but I manage. It’s took a swim in the river a few times also , but still works good.

I found the 4.75" barrel perfect to holster and being dispatch is measured in inches it is easy to hit a small target!

I use the 4 inch barrel works good for dispatch but much further than that and it really struggles to maintain consistency.

4" is all you need for dispatch, more than long enough. Anything you can do to cut down on the weight on one of them heavy bricks is a good thing. Bird head grips too if you have a choice.

Get the 16". You would look impressive out on the line with that. Haha. I have a 6 I think. Works great.

Agreed. That’s what I have. Works great.
