My backpacking carry gun is a Taurus model 617 7 shot .357.
It has a lange cushioned grip and a short ported barrel to improve handling.
(I would have preferred a longer barrel but... that's what was available)
It has a stainless barrel liner but the cylinders are not lined.
I don't shoot it much but I sure am happy about the light weight. With ammo removed it feels like a plastic squirt gun. We've travelled many, many miles together.
