Great Picture of the Colt Official Police wheel gun!
I, too, prefer the 6" barrels for target work and 4" barrels for almost everything else. If I were to carry a revolver, I'd look for one with a medium sized frame and a 3" barrel. Failinf that, I'd go with a 4" barrel. |

For reference, the above message is a reply to a message where: I get the same MPG as you on this one, always preferring the 4" barrel also. I do like five inch barrels on large frame guns like the N-frame, Redhawk, and New Service. The Anaconda would have been nice with a 5" barrel but was never offered that way. My reason for adding an inch to those horse pistols is that they are belt guns anyway and are never going to be carried concealed. Even in earlier times they were belt guns, eh? Anyway, gratuitous photo time! Image below from Mark Freburg - Image Title: Colt Official Police |
