If your back up choice is to drop all the way down to 357, consider the 696, a 44 spl 5 shot on the L frame with 3" full lug barrel. It's not a MG exactly but has a round grip frame, is easy to carry and is a good compromise between N frame MGs and the 357 MG. Lot'sa great loads available that cover the full gamut of 44 Spl power.
