I would like to shoot it a little before doing anything. I like the Bowen Rough-Country rear sight so maybe I will install one instead of repairing the blade.
If I decide to chop the barrel, it probably won't be below 6". I just might hunt with it and my state has a barrel length requirement and that rules out 4-5/8". I would also like to retain a longer sight radius and good ballistics. I like the look of the banded front sight on a 6" barrel.
I have an OMBH .357 with a 4-5/8" barrel and it really balances nicely. It definitely is a nice barrel length.
