I like both, but for some reason prefer the 4.75 for most chores. I had a 4 5/8 357 BH as a teen and killed a pile of Jawja whitetails with it, so maybe thats my bias.

5.5 just feels right.

5.5 for me. Just a very slight difference in balance that I like and it is easy to work with from a holster.

I like ejector length and 7½" - 8" barrels. Don't care for 5½" barrels at all, especially on fixed sight sixguns. An 1860 percussion or Richards Type I or Type II cartridge conversion is the only notable exception.

4.75, I like the look of ejector length barrels.

"All" Dang! I didn't know that was a choice! Put me down for all too! To many 7.5 to 10 inch guns here for me to say anything else..

Of course the only logical answer is "one of each".

I've never liked the looks of the 5.5" barrel. Neither short enough to be compact, nor long enough to help with sight radius and velocity. So I choose 4.75".

All of my .44 Special single actions, two Rugers and one Colt, have the 5.5 inch barrel and I really like those guns.
