Bumping this classic thread with a question.

Assuming I'm unable to get my mitts on one of Ross's 5" 500s (which seems more and more likely as time goes by), what would be the way to go among production models? I'm mostly buying the gun for ****s and giggles, but it might see some use for shooting pigs and whatnot.

I'm leaning towards the 6" with fixed compensator. I like the idea of slightly longer sight radius as well as dwell time for the projectile. Not having an extra piece which can break or be lost is also appealing. That being said, my favorite wheelgun thus far in life is my 4" Model 29.

Thoughts?
