Buy the Ruger GP100 in 357 Magnum with either a three or four inch barrel. It has quite a bit of industry support, so you can get custom grips, night sights, holsters and so forth.
S&W revolvers are more expensive, include the terrible LOCK, have cruddy MIM parts and so on. Buy a prelock gun such as the S&W Model 19 or 686.
Take a look at the Ruger GP100 Wiley Clapp models. They are more expensive, but they're three inch tubes with rear sights (the standard model with three inch barrel has no rear sight).
