Zillion reasonable options for eastern woods bumming including your glock 19. After that, Cost:benefit goes to Ruger LCR .38spl if was me.

After that cost goes up, but i used s&w 642 on the compact side (steel, real sights=shootable) and on fuller side but light, the s&w m66 4" is hard to beat.

Of course, an old Bearcat in the case you describe, in all reality, would be both fine and a hoot. Have the latter three; would like a LCR too on principle
