I have owned several Mark II pistols. 6 7/8" Slab side and 5.5" bull barrel. I have a 5.5" Mark III
and a S&W Victory. No problems disassemble and cleaning. My theory about optimum barrel length is
5.5" if it is scoped or dot sight. If you put a dot sight or scope on the pistol that negates the advantage
of the longer sight radius. Longer barrels have longer bullet dwell time. So many manufactures offer
bull barrels in 5.5 inch? Ruger, Smith and Wesson model 41 and Victory and Browning offer 5.5 " barrels.
I have put some money into these pistols triggers and sights.
