I have a 3" that is my main EDC (for the last half dozen years or so), I've also carried a 4.25" off and on. The length is of no consequence, but the weight is noticeable. My 3" is alloy, my 4.25" is steel. Take that into consideration, too.
I never carry my 4" because it's unreliable (to me) at present.
However, the 5" that I just got will likely ride my hip at times, once it has met my personal reliability break-in.
