I have decided to upgrade my SPE to a new SP.

I will be using it for a NRA (style) 25 yard Bullseye League. Most likely keeping with iron sights, but may go optics.

What are the benefits between the 5” or 6” barrels other than one has a longer sight radius and the other is lighter and less nose heavy ?

Is there any pistol shooting discipline that do not allow one of the barrel length?

JK

6 inch barrel is ok for ISSF disciplines, but the overall length of a Pardini with 6 inch barrel is too long. It has to fit in a box, 300x150x50 mm.

I went with the 5" after much research and consulting with shooters way way way better than me.

Quite happy. Skip the gas compensator as well.

Ported barrel and added length (won't fit in box) will make it ineligible for ISSF Standard Pistol, Sport Pistol, and Rapid Fire. I don't see any advantage of the longer barrel for Bullseye unless you just want more weight out front.

I too, went with a 5in SPE and won't second guess my decision....
