Either one would be a good one. Personally I like the Optima. If the Optima pro seems too long for you, the regular Optima will be just as good. I have a Optima myself and it shoots so good I don't see any reason to get the Pro with the 29" barrel. But then again, it all depends on which one feels best to you. I also have found that the break open is easier to clean and to install and remove the breech plug and primers.
