Maybe a S&W Combat Masterpiece or even a nice solid Ruger GP100 or Security 6

Have your musket clean as a whistle, hatchet scoured, 60 rounds powder and ball and be ready to march at a minute's warning.

Ok, buy the Ruger. ;D Seriously, a 4" .357 is probably the most practical handgun on the planet. A bit big for easy concealment, but beyond that, you can do anything with it. Its a great basic part of a battery. A .44 mag will fill the same role as well, but .38 is a lot cheaper than .44 specials. Just buy one. You can find the GP100s at reasonable prices if you're patient.

A small price to pay for a good wheel gun.  :)

The 4" 357 is my wife's favorite gun. While I enjoy my bottom feeders I must admit that they are fun to shoot now and then...especially if you finish out your session with a few cylinders of 357 instead of 38.

She has a S&W 686 (7 round), a S&W Model 19 in nickel, and a Ruger GP 161.
The Ruger is a 6" barrel and would be nice as a 4". It's like a tank.
TheSW 19 is nice with a hair trigger in single action... nicer than the Ruger but doesn't seem as substantial.
The SW 686 I THINK is one of the best revolvers out there. It's substantial, very well fitted, has a very nice action right out of the box, and is nicely balanced. But it's a little pricey.

You could probably pick up a couple of used 4" 357s in a variety of lesser brands and pick the one you like best. There are a lot of them floating around. OR bite the bullet and go for the Ruger or Smith.

FIFY.

The 4" .357 should be a staple in any collection, no matter what size it is.
