Let me make a couple of recommendations.
Ruger has the Ruger SP-101. In .357 magnum or .327 Federal magnum with a 3 inch or the new SP-101 that has a 4 inch barrel seem like doable possibilities. Even the 2inch model could fill the bill.
I own one in .327 Federal magnum with the 3 inch barrel. The .32 calibers make this gun versatile as well as does the .357 magnum version.
The .327 Federal magnum, .32 H&R magnum, and the .32 S&W Longs can be shot through it. For practice,fun, and for defense these would be hard to beat.
The .357 magnum/.38 Special combo also lets here tailor the ammo to the mission. Also the power level.
The Taurus 851/651 guns, built on the 85 frame, give allow a higher grip and lower center of gravity. This in theory gives a bit less felt recoil.
851/651s also have the partial shrouded hammer. If cocking for a single action shot is needed that can be done. The partial shroud helps obviate any chance of the hammer catching on material or things during the draw.
Holding the thumb over the hammer helps act as a full shroud on the draw.
