    S and W 686 or similar in double action 38 special/357 Mag

    Great trigger makes it easier to be accurate and you can load 3x 38 Special "scare" loads backed up by 3x 357 mag "kill" loads in the same unit and still fire one-handed

    I would personally practise before wanting to lug a bigger hunk of metal around the landscape as a 44 and up can get heavier than you think and I'm not a small guy

    Best idea I can give you is to go to a range where you can try as many as possible to see what feels right for you as pistols tend to be a very personal selection IMO

    Good luck

    also edit to note- nothing against Rugers, I just haven't personally fired them enough to talk about them
