The ones I'm interested in most would be the 8.3/8" barrel with compensator & 4 inch compensator. Felt the best & were my favorite aesthetically. It's good to know that you get good accuracy out to 50 yards & less with open sights with the shorter BBL's.
After shooting multiple different length barrels, and discussing it with an ammo manufacturer, it does appear that the longer barrel allows more complete burning of powder and greater recoil. I have not tried to figure out free recoil from any of the revolvers. Enjoy Be Safe,
