I really, really like the Ruger SP101 2.25", spurred, I picked up a while ago. It is a very solid feeling gun, is very accurate, soaks up recoil very well and conceals like it wasn't even there (I carry appendix in a low ride holster.. can't even tell its there and it is very comfortable).
The other gun I was very interested in, but at the time I couldn't find any anywhere, was the Smith and Wesson Model 640 Pro. This is most certainly more expensive then the SP101, but I really like the features. J-frame .357 mag, enclosed hammer, no lock , cut for moon clips, fluted barrel and 3-dot night sights. It really does read like the perfect carry .357 on paper, that is for sure.
Here is an example.
