I generally go with the six inch barrels for non-carry revolvers, but went with the 4 inch barrel for my 686+ just because I thought I might carry it. The lock is not an issue for me on my few guns that have it. I would take the extra round any day. I would have liked the Talo version 686, for the non-fluted cylinder (yeah more weight but looks cool) but the one time I saw it, I bought an R8 instead. I lost patience looking for a Talo and bought a stock 686+. I am happy.
