8-3/8" would be nice to have.

Well... I do have this one with a 9" barrel...

5 inch is the best of both worlds (IMO). Conceals almost as well as a 4 inch, sight radius almost as good as a 6 inch.

For fun at the range the long tube (8 3/8) N frames are hard to beat! Has anyone ever seen a 38/44 long tube?

3&1/2” the gun is well balanced and easy to point and shoot. I have one in nickel and one in blue.

All of my N frames are 6"/6.5" as are my other revolvers. Not a fan of the 4" in any frame size. I like the longer sight range.
