Jeff was pretty well spot on

So now the decision is based on if you want to conceal, or if you want to shoot paper at the range? IMO, at 25 yards, the 5" might be a little more accurate (longer sight radius) and a little less felt recoil (a little extra gun weight)

The choice is yours.... I think for non concealing, I would go 5" (or one of each)
