I have the 431PD and 432PD, which are both J-frames. They are small and light, but for your specific needs, I think you might be better off with a Ruger SP101 chambered in either .32 H&R Magnum (discontinued but still available on Gunbroker and such places) or .327 Federal Magnum (which will also shoot .32 S&W Long and .32 H&R Mag just fine).

I really like the .32 H&R, low recoil, easy to handload for, fun to shoot, etc. With handloads and my own cast bullets its just about the same price to shoot as .22 LR and a lot more fun. If one sticks with factory ammunition or handloads without casting one's own bullets, a .38 Special is going to be cheaper to feed.
