6" or 8" barrel.

TAB, If you want more ease of carry, I'd go with 6 In. If you want more accuracy, and don't care about ease of carry, 8 inch. A bandolier/chest holster will be the best way to carry the 8 inch gun, if you go that route. I had a 7 & 1/2 inch Redhawk, and it was scary accurate. If it's just gonna be a hunter, I'd probably go with the 8 inch.
