As the title indicates... I handled both models today at the local Sheels and with my XL sized hands the 2.5 inch model wasn't going to fit my big mits anywhere close but the 3 inch model with the standard Python grip was about perfect. I really like the visual aesthetics of the 2.5 inch model but for any practical shooting that smaller hand grip was going to cause problems.

Just my observations with my XL sized paws...

What are your intended uses for the Python ? Another thought, I just got an LCR 38 +P. It came with the little 2 finger grip. I have medium hands and it fit well enough, but looked into, and bought from Ruger the longer version grip that comes on the 357 LCRx. Am happier now. Soo, can you buy the barrel length you want, then later buy the grip you want and swap ?
