As noted; the slick Ruger LCR .357magnum should do very well.
The DAO(double action only) format SP101 5 shot with 2.25" barrel is good too. This was my first snub revolver in 1993.
The Smith & Wesson M&P without security lock can be great but it's not cheap.
Charter Arms Pugs are a good value. They have DA only versions & models with shrouds. Many like the large .44spl caliber Pugs, but the .357magnum is a good model.

In general Id pack a factory made .38spl +P or +P+. Then I carry .357magnum rounds in speed strips. Magnum loads are strong & the muzzle flash/blast might be too much.
A CT lasergrip isn't a bad add-on too. www.Crimsontrace.com It will help with aim & marksmanship.
