I have no doubt what some people can do with a 4 inch. But you are shooting 44 mag, not .357. Anything less than 6 inches in 357 is not decisive, shall we say? I'm not a great natural shot. I take EVERY advantage I can get. Weight, velocity, muzzle blast as far away from the face to reduce flinching. And at 50 yards, I do have an advantage with sight radius. As I said, I'm not a great NATURAL shot. I need all the help I can get. Also, it looks cool. I'll keep my 8 inches, you keep your 4s. Everybody is happy. A win-win!
