I have a Model 14, fixed sight gun with a 2 1/2" barrel.  I have a chance to pick up a 6" vented, heavy barrel that was on a Model 15 with the adjustable sights.  I know that I will have to exchange the front sight on the Model 15 barrel with one from a Model 14 barrel.  Ok...now with all that said here is my question.....

Am I wasting time and money putting a 6" vented heavy barrel on a fixed sight revolver?  I want to use it for medium sized game out to 25 yards.  Would I just be as well off to leave it with the short barrel and use it for close up shooting?

Thanks
