If it tweren't for the need to shoot rim fire Shorts the little Ruger SR22 wouldn't be a bad choice. I know, not a revolver but it's light, compact, poly frame and alloy upper isn't gonna rust, accurate, reliable, easy to safe carry and doesn't cost much if you shop around a little.

Every normal man must be tempted, at times, to spit on his hands, hoist the black flag, and begin slitting throats.
