I have a 629-6 with a 6 inch barrel, and a friend has the .460 with a 8 3/8 barrel. If the revolver was primarily for hunting I would take the .460, if it is generally for plinking and informal target work I like the 6 inch N frames even at 100 yards. For me the N frame is better balanced than the X frame, so it seems to point more naturally and I shoot it better. I like the 6 inch half lug barrels best.
