Looking to maybe get [finally] a Taylors 1873, but not sure if I want 18" or 20". Two questions:
1. How many 38 Special rounds fit in the 18" and the 20" tubes?
2. Considering the use of 38 Special, what is the optimal barrel length for complete powder burn? I'm going to assume that the difference between 18" and 20" is negligible. What about 24"? Or is optimal even less than 18"?
Thanks. I've been pondering such a purchase, but since any of them are ~ $1200, it has kept me from purchasing.
