To a degree, Yes a 6" barrel is more accurate than the 4", What Harry
failed to mention is it all has to do with "Sight Radius" Basically the
distance between the front and rear sights, and there's alot of
variables that come into play, When I shoot a day long competition I
usually start off with my 6" barrel and end up switching to my 4" barrel
later in the day, and the reason is I'm just plain tired.
What happens is the front sight gets wobbly in my eye due to the longer
sight radius in the 6" barrel. I'm no firearms expert, and would never
claim to be, but I do shoot a few matches a week, do all my own
reloading, and all the work on my own firearms. Among other things.

Sight radius has to do with the shooter, not the firearm. Put identical
4" and 6" barrel revolvers in pistol rests and the results against
targets at combat distances will be pretty much the same. For accuracy,
though, I prefer semi-autos.

Again, To a degree.
May I suggest you take your pistols. put them in a vise, turn the handle
20 times (righty tighty), then go dryfire them all you want, Or you
could take the womens handgun course I give every few months. Among
other things. UD
