I really like the Uberti Pockets. I prefer the cylinder of the Police, but the barrel assembly of the Navy. But I'd get a Police just because I'd want the 4.5" barrel.
Since hunting doesn't seem to be a use, though small game can certainly be had if you're up to it, it's as good as any I'd think.
Are you intending on using round balls or conicals?
What kind of powder are you leaning towards? 3F is ideal for pistols, especially the smaller ones with shallower chambers, though there are some who use 4F. I'm not sure I'd want to do it, and there are many who will claim it dangerous, though I've read (and have) some research on Civil War paper cartridges and it was found the .44 cal with a conical was loaded with what seemed to be 4F and of Swiss powder's strength. This was a small powder charge though (<20 grns IIRC).
