No, this isn't a dreaded poll.
Anyway, please explain why you like the barrel length that is your favorite on a revolver.
For me, I prefer 5.5" - 6.5" barrels, with an even 6.0" being the favorite length. My S&W 686 Plus 6" is EXTREMELY accurate, and it has the right combination of muzzle weight and stability for my size. Most of my shooting is target shooting at moderate pistol ranges, and I like the extra muzzle stability and sight radius that the six inchers provide. I don't find them so heavy that they are uncomfortable (I do find the 8" plus barrels to be a little too muzzle heavy though).
I do like 4" barrel revolvers for general all around use/duty use, and occasionally 2"-3" for discrete carry, but for target work or plinking make mine a 6"!
I'm not too fond of the 8" plus barrels, simply because I feel like I'm holding a heavy club instead of a gun. There are many excellent revolvers with long 8" plus barrels, but for me those ranges of barrel length are a little too big for my needs.
What about you guys?
