Makes sense. Mine were all 3” until this 3 1/2” came in
 
Hi There,


Makes sense. Mine were all 3” until this 3 1/2” came in


My first and for a long time, my only .32 cf SA Top Brake was a
3-1/2" I bought 30 some years ago. Last summer, picked up a
second one and it has a 3" barrel. I just had to get one with the
red mottled grips.


Cheers!
Webb

You will find very few 6" 32 SAs and I have never seen a 10"?? They are certainly an odd-duck revolver. Here is a 6" example.

Gary,
This is the portion of the factory letter I have on the 6” I used to own.
On January 11, 1891, it states, This shipment contained 10 units of this model in the above configuration.

I like the 3.5 a little better than the 3. The proportions seem good

6” is a little too long I can’t even imagine 10”
