If you like the Ruger SP101, you aren't a big guy, and other guns have felt big then you may want to look into the S&W model 640 or S&W model 60. 5 shot J frame revolvers ae small, yet can shoot 357 magnum self defense and light loads though. That sounds like what you need to lean to if guns have felt big to you. You may need to find a small revolver with the right frip. The triggers will smoth out in time, but the 640 trigger is a nice DA on mine. The 640 has a shrouded hammer though so no SA, but the model 60 can shoot SA.
