It depends on your gender & build, as well as the muscle you're injecting into. 1.5" is the gold standard for adults & it's a must if you're intend to hit the gluteal muscles (no longer a recommended IM site, FWIW). I found 1.25" a nice length but they usually only come in 27g, which isn't solid enough for a confident IM.
I hit the muscle that runs along the outside of each thigh (easy to see from a seated position), aiming for the middle third of the leg (as measured from knee to hip), and I feel confident that it's going IM with my 1" x 25g needles. I'm a man with a low BMI, though, so I have a less thick subcutaneous fat layer than some other people.
