+++1 on the S&W J frame. I have a mod 60 stainless 2 1/4" 357 MAG 5 shot. Practice with 38+p. carry mags 125 gr. jhp. Ignore the weak sisters comments about "excessive recoil" and shoot the weapon! The weight is negligable in both an ankle holster or a quality hi rise strong side holster. You'll appreciate the "fireball" as well will the B.G. at the recieving end of it. Hogue overmoulded grips will help reduce the snappy feel of the mag loads condsiderably. Greydog.you could also try the all steel (stainless) j frame 5 shot 357 smiths. I don't know all the model #'s. I have a 640-1? it's hammer-less. the weight helps with the recoil, the compactness is the same as the air-weights/air-lites.
