Ruger LCR or Ruger 101 with a 3" barrel. The 101 is also available in a 4.2". The so called FBI load in 38 +p Special 158 SWC HP has the best street results of any 38 loads. 357 magnums best street results have been with 125 grain JHP. Handguns and Stopping Power by Sannow and Evans is a must read for selection of handgun loads.
