A Ruger is good, can't go wrong with that - I like them, they are tanks that sometimes could use some refinement and tuning (which there are many gunsmiths who will gladly work on them) or you can just go with them as they are - certainly much better than a Rossi or a Taurus (I've owned two Taurus revolvers).
That said, just as another choice if no one else has suggested it - I like my S&W TRR8.
Expensive. Not everyone's cup of tea, but flexible (the rails can be removed and reattached as desired), 8 shots, lightweight for field carry, but balance is nice and recoil is not objectionable (certainly less than the SP101 snubby I once owned). For pins and silhouettes it would be okay to good, not sure about the classes but again the rails give you flexibility there, and then you could return it to bare for carrying or just leave the rails on without optics or laser/etc.
With 8 shots you get some advantages too.
