A lot has been said here already. I have owned several 357's over the years and I prefer the Ruger's overall. The GP100 is a great one in 6 inch for general use hard to conceal for CCW purposes. The Ruger SP101 3 inch is another great all round revolver. Makes a nice CCW revolver and general all around carry revolver around the farm.
Two things that I will mention here:
1 - I have yet to find a 357 or a 44 that I like the factory grips on. I have replaced mine with Hogue grips as have my friends. These make shooting more comfortable and have improved accuracy for each of us. These have also made them better for my 5'1" wife.
2 - I never carry 357's for CCW as they will over penetrate and creates a higher potential for hitting an unintended target. I always use plain old 38 Specials (never CCW with the 38 +P's for the same reason). I know that there are others that will disagree with this and each tho their own.
Best advice I can give you is to look at several and find the one that fits your hand the best.
Don't pass on a Charter Arms if you find one you like as these get good reviews and seem well made.
As to ammo I have went to using the Ruger ARX in all my CCW firearms as these are designed to help prevent the over penetration problem. I use them in my .380, 9mm, 38 Spcl and 45ACP. Just a thought for you. I do still use hollow points when out on the farms.
