I can't believe that I've never seen this thread. I love 8 3/8" S&W's! Of course being 6'5" and about 350, even an 8 3/8" in my hands looks and feels like a 4"-6" in the average size shooter. Here's a few of mine: a Model 27; 25 & 17. I haven't received it yet but a big 629 is on its' way. I have a 6" 29, but I always wanted a BIG .44 Mag!
