I love the way a Ruger Standard Mark III looks with fixed sights and a blued finish. My only issue is that I can't figure out whether I want a 4.75" or 6" barrel.

Can anyone here give me their insight to which they like more and why? I tend to prefer shorter barrels on my Blackhawks, but they are different beasts altogether...

Thanks,

Patrick

This is a nice problem to have. I can only tell you how I surprised myself and it has a good ending. When I was looking at MK IIIs, I wasn't interested in a bull barrel. But that's what I ended up buying and now I'm glad I didn't do otherwise. If you make the right choice initially, well that's great! But if you pick something else, as long as it's a Ruger MK III, you will probably learn to love it just the same. Please let us know how it all works out for you.
