I suggest you take a look at a used model H&R 929. Small, light, 9 shot cylinder and as accurate as a .22 can be at an affordable price. Made in the USA as well. I've hunted my entire life (well since I was about 11 or 12) and I'm 76 now. Many years ago when the things I packed with me hunting began to get weighty I got rid of my Blackhawk as a hunting sidearm. I went to the H&R. I reasoned I was already carrying a potent weapon in the form of my rifle and that could handle any foreseeable animal/human threat. The .22 works well as a dispatch weapon with a shot to the head (mafia style) and the big benefit comes when you realize you can carry 50 extra rounds in your pack for about the same weight as 6 extra .357 rounds.
