Don't over think the 1:8 5R v.s. the 1:9 barrel too much. The discussions you see about it (many I've participated in) are just being picky. To be honest, it surprised the heck out of me that S&W ever installed that barrel on the 15-Sport.
Discussing the minute technical merit between the two v.s. results in the field are different things. Am I the super-duper marksman that can clearly demonstrate the difference between the 1:8 5R and a 1:9 barrel? Nope. I own both twist rates. Given my skill level, I can't show any appreciable difference between the two.
