A size, weight? Usually a 22?
I have a S&W 4" 63 that's filled the role. A 3" 317 might do the same with a lot less weight but it harder to shoot.
I remember Skeeter writing that he really liked the J frame 22, but shot his K22 a lot better. A set of bigger grips helped my J a lot , a whole lot. Wish I'd gone here years ago.
Now, the 22 might fit the concept, but S&W has a J frame in 357 they call the pro. 3" adj. sight, tritium front, robust grips. If ya reload, a kit/trail gun extraordinaire. I don't have one, but a person looking for the pinnacle, this is likely to be it.
