Maybe a Smith & Wesson Model 13 with a 2" barrel like the gun used by the lobby guard in the Matrix and Sean William Scott in The Rundown. Or the Mode 65, the stainless steel counterpart.
.357 Magnums are kind of overrated, they hit hard but are going too fast. Imagine a 9mm, a notoriously fast round know to pass straight through a target, this loosing the kinetic energy, now put a lot more powder behind it, so now it is even faster. But boy does it blow up a pumpkin nicely.
If you want a good concealed carry gun, I'd recommend a Para-Ordnance Warthog or Nite-Hawg, it's a 1911 gun (so it will be reliable if maintained), holds 10+1 (nice for a .45 pistol), fits in the hand well for a compact, and did I mention it's a 1911? Roughly a $500 gun.
