What strikes me as a superb backpacker gun is Ruger's brand-new 4" barrel version of the SP101 with fully adjustable sights in 357Mag.

Smaller 5-shot frame. Weight is about the same as a six-shot K-frame S&W (like the model 10) but it's stout enough for full-power 357 and (barely) heavy enough at around 27oz to shoot the really wild ammo that Buffalo Bore, Underwood, DoubleTap and Grizzly brew up.
