[QUOTE="NikatKimber, post: 1094219, member: 423"] While not "small and light" compared to Airweights, a K frame sized gun in stainless steel, with a 2"-3" barrel, and chambered for .357 mag should do what you want. S&W's aren't as durable as the Rugers if eating a steady diet of .357, if you use .38s 90% of the time you'll be fine. But you'd be looking at thousands of rounds before that became an issue. Recommendations: S&W 66 2.5" - SS with adjustable sights. Great gun, most expensive on this list. S&W 65 3" - SS with fixed sights. Great gun, little more barrel, full ejection of .357 mag brass. Ruger Security Six 2.75" - get a SS one. These are comparable in size and features to the S&W 66, just a little more rugged at the cost of some fit and finish. I... er, my wife has a 4" SS. Ruger Service Six or Speed Six 2.75" - get a SS one. Comparable to the S&W 65, exactly like the Security Six, but fixed sights instead of adjustable. I have one of each. Get a good holster, and a good belt, and pack away! [/QUOTE]
