Single six accuracy question.
« on: May 05, 2004, 04:35:45 AM »
Is there a difference in accuracy between a 5-1/2" barrel and a 6-1/2" barrel? I don't know what model to buy. Thanks.

No inherent difference.  About the only difference might be regarding the sight radius and how well it allows you to utilize the open sights.  Either way it really shouldn't affect your decision.  Handle both of them if you have a chance and see which one feels better in your hand.  Chances are that one will be the gun that you shoot the best anyway.

Brook,
Very good advice from Koes...I ended up with the 5.5, blue, love it.  Great feel in my hand, which is the key. Perfect balance, for me...I could fire that gun all day, love to shoot it..

Best of luck in your choice....

Jim
