IMO the best looking barrels are tapered, fixed half moon sight and no rib plus they are the lightest barrels. Larry

Larry,
I cant speak to different chambering of the N frames but the weights of various 4, 45 ACP, N frames are thus.
1917, 45 ACP, 4 barrel, 35.6 ounces
28-2, 45 ACP, 4 barrel, 38.1 ounces (converted to 45 ACP with original barrel, converted to RB)
625-6, 45 ACP, 4 barrel, 38.1 ounces
22-4, 45 ACP, 4 barrel, 38.8 ounces
25-2, 45 ACP, 4 barrel, 39.2 ounces
So, it appears the taper does provide some weight reduction but the biggest charge is the addition or subtraction of the shroud and rib.
