I've been looking around at revolvers and their barrel lengths and something that comes up frequently is the coveted 3 inch length barrel. Everybody praises them, singing their virtues of weight, balance and shootability compared to a 2"/2.5" or a regular 4" barrel. And yet...they're very rare specimens with some being more scarce than others. Why is that? Many revolvers were offered in such a length: S&W Model 10, 13, 19, Colt Detective Specials and Pythons just to name a few. If people love them so much as the ideal carry revolver, why did companies make so little of them? I want to hear your thoughts on this.
