Charter Arms Pathfinder - if you can find one. My old one way back was way too sloppy but, find one that is not too slck if you can - it is a very well fitting small 6 shot D/A. Pic below is very poor qual - but shows what it looks like .. grip feels great.
I personally like the old High Standard Sentinel. I currently have two Sentinels, one 6" and one 2 1/2". Both hold 9 rounds, and are double action.
I used to have a High Standard Durango, also a double action nine-shot revolver, but cowboy style, with a 5 1/2" barrel. First and last firearm I've ever traded, and I'll always regret getting rid of that revolver...
My first pistol was given to me and it was a Smith but TINY smaller than my hand. I did not think of model numbers as a 10 year old but it was double action and had what seems like a one inch barrel or less and it was given to me because the owner could not hit anything at all with it. Well I was determined to learn to shoot it and there was a cowboy serial movie where the cowboy shot out the ace of spades on a playing card and I was determined to do that too.
It took months and a goodly amount of ammunition and some extremely serious concentration on the sight picture but I finally did it.
So when I got to high school several years early and found a rifle team to join I became the youngest NRA Junior Division Distinguished Expert in California.
All from learning on how to concentrate with an impossible to hit anything tiny Smith .22 double action that I cocked first before shooting at the ace of spades 60 years ago.
