Charter Arms doesn't have a great reputation for quality, or at least durability. That gun will kind of limit you to fairly pedestrian loads, at low speed which doesn't really put in the same category as the faster rounds that reportedly "stop faster". Not sure the porting will do you any favors if you need to shoot in a dimly lit parking lot, or in an enclosed space for that matter.

I ignore the sights and just rip up a target at typical confrontation ranges, but it doesn't help you pull off an accurate shot at a target that just took cover when you have no sights at all, and a long DAO trigger.

I'd give Ruger the edge for quality, the sights, and an extra round.

But I'd also give the SP-101 in .357 a look. I like the option of cocking it, and having the extra power.

I'd prefer a .44 Special for a woods gun, and I think it would be hard to beat the GP-100 with a 3" bbl. for that. Or an old Rossi. But both of those are probably a little heavier and bulkier than what you're looking for right now.
