Get a Taurus 605 3 inch defender
Cheap price, has a night sight, eats .357 but realistically you'll be doing .38s in it

Have had hundreds of magnums through mine with no issue, but honestly just stick to standard pressure buffalo bore .38 special wadcutters for carry. 150gr 960fps out of a 3" barrel

That said, magnums are stupid fun to shoot out of it at the range
