As Hawkeye stated the S&W Model 60-10 or 60-15 are just about perfect for what you are looking for... Under 25 oz., all stainless steel, .357 Magnum or .38 Special.

You are also correct...the .380 is no Trail Gun... If you want a small auto look at a 9mm. When using an auto for the woods I use a Colt Commander in .38 Super. Just finished this one..all stainless Combat Commander with BoMar sights and my gunsmith just put in 9mm and .38 Super BarSto match barrels... Was down the range today and the .38 Super barrel also runs 9x23 Winchester like it was made for it.
