Model 686 barrel length

Lots of good arguments here pro and con, but in the end it comes down to what makes you the most comfortable.

In my case, I already had a custom 4" K-frame (my 327 Fed Mag) with full under lug barrel, so I went with the 6" L-frame, knowing I would be unlikely to carry it much in the field, but wanting to be able to wring as much accuracy out of it as possible for longer shots (with iron sights and old eyes.) That was my take on the question, but as I said, YMMV!
