Small .357 with low recoil, for the most part that idea contradicts itself.

Get a SP101 worked over by the folks at Gemini Customs, have it ported. The porting won't really reduce recoil all that much but it will reduce the amount of muzzle rise. It will be louder, and with more muzzle flash.

S&W 627 might have enough mass to soak up a lot of the .357 recoil. They make them in a few different barrel lengths all the way down to 2.625" up to 5". It is an N-Frame 8 shot .357 which is pretty epic in its own right. Cyclinder is a bit large to comfortably concealed carry it.
