What’s the longest handgun barrel you have?

[Gunsnwater]

For me it was a Virginian Dragoon 357 with a 7.25 for years but recently it was beat due to my acquisition of a Smith 29-2 with 8 3/8 barrel. Funny how tastes change. A decade ago I was only interested in four inch or less revolvers. Now I seem to be of the longer the better mindset. I’m currently looking at a 29-3 with silhouette barrel (10 5/8”) and strongly considering starting the search for a Ruger Super Blackhawk with the 10.5” barrel.

This got me wondering what barrel lengths the forum members are using. I’m also hoping some of you have experience with the extra length handgun barrels and can share your thoughts.

I started with long and now it’s mostly short. 1st trooper 2. 8in then 29 8 3/8. Last was an naa 22short. Hard to conceal the long ones.

Ruger Hunter 6 7/8" Recently looked at a 7" S&W 357 revolver but it felt too barrel heavy.

I have that problem too. I switched to boxer-briefs.

I think the longest one I own is my 5" GP100.

I kinda feel like I need to get one of these Heritage Rough Riders with a 16" barrel. In case I need to shoot down the Batwing...

i know that some of the pistol cal 16 " lever guns slow down the bullet by the time it goes down that long of a barrel
