I have a Henry 327 Fed Mag with a 20" barrel, a new Winchester 1873 357 Mag with a 20" barrel and a Marlin 1894C 357 Mag with an 18-1/2" barrel. The Marlin handles a bit easier than the longer barrel guns but not enough to really worry about.
Henry 44 lever action, 16 vs 20" barrels?

To be fair, I never handled one that was loaded. I'm sure it makes a big difference.With the 450 to 500 grainers, to me, the long barrel and full-length magazine get awfully nose heavy. With the 350 and 405s it’s a bit better in the hand.
Especially compared to my guide gun, that’s a dream to tote.
Stay safe.
