I like the S&W Model 22-4, the modern re-issue of the Model of 1950 with fixed sights and a 4-inch barrel with ejector rod shroud. (I couldn't quickly find a good picture of one. Most of them were of the Thunder Ranch version, which has different grips, or of the version with the case-hardened frame..) The factory grips are a copy of the vintage pre-Magna style, so they are quite small. I realize that fixed sights and having to get more useful grips right away are a couple of strikes against it. I guess I just really like its looks.

I carry a Model 22-4 every day.
The bottom revolver in this image is a Thunder Ranch version of the same revolver. It is wearing Magna stocks and a grip adapter. No idea what the TR wore from the factory.
The top revolver, also a Model 22-4, is the modern rendition of the Model 1950 Army revolver. It is wearing Service stocks and a grip adapter.
This image is a Model 1950 Army.
The front sight has been modified to be more easily picked up.
Here are a few more 4” barreled ACP revolvers, some factory, some custom.
If you prefer longer barrels, here are a few.
I am a fan of the ACP revolver. None are currently produced. All are available on the market, with patience.
The 4”, ACP, N frame is the perfect edc revolver in my opinion. The longer barrels are very good for range or field work. The Model 25-2 in the above image was a competition revolver for nearly a decade in my hands and at least two decades prior to my purchase.
