Thanks!

I have one 625. It is an ACP Mountain Gun, so a four inch tapered barrel. I have a variety of ACP blued revolvers, from 3” to 6 1/2”. If I had to lose all but one I would keep a 4” tapered barrel. It packs well, is accurate and has plenty of power. It is my EDC.
However, you have had a bunch of replies suggesting 3, 4, and 5” barrels, some tapered, some full and some with the underlug. (Personally, I have no use for the full lugged barrel.) It boils down to personal preference. What is your planned use? You mentioned a primary role, what is the secondary purpose? A lot would depend on that.
Try as many as you can before you buy. If you were closer, I would lend you some to help you decide.
