Well if you're dead set on having a rail on there, here's the one I'd use:
True picatinny interface so you wouldn't be stuck with only the one Streamlight model that has an adapter to fit the S&W rail. The whole of gadgetry that can go on a p-rail is now your's for the messin' with
would only need a bit of hand fitting where it meets the trigger guard.
Contour fits the S&W dust cover perfectly.
I was toying with this idea a couple years ago for the frame that eventually became my SSV when I was exploring options on what to do with the holes in the dust cover. I decided I like the holes best erased rather than covered with a rail.
As I recall, two of the bolt holes will line up with the Smith. A little fitting and either you or have a pro bolt & weld it in place then the whole works can go in the salt bath.
I think what I'd do is set the bolt's in place ( have to drill the middle hole) tack weld the bolts on the inside of the dust cover. Then weld a very fine bead around the outside perimeter of the rail just to seal it up and keep moisture/junk from creeping under there and causing a weeping rust stain issue.
