I like to take 3 shooter-grade Model 29s (4, 61/2, and 8 3/8"barrels) to the range and shoot identical ammo through each one in turn. The 4" really barks and kicks, 6 1/2" is a little calmer and 8 3/8" is a ***** cat in comparison. I use good old S&W target stocks on each gun and wear baseball batting gloves to avoid hands getting torn up.

Try it; you might like it.
