.45 ACP or even one of the ancient short .45 rounds like .455 Colt. Either with external hammer or Centennial style. Here's an example from way back: a Webley and Scott "British Bulldog" in .450.
Ammo's tough to find (Fiocchi does a run every once in a while), but I've shot this one. Recoil is more managable than the .357 by a lot. But it's not much fatter or generally harder to carry. (theoretically!)
Or maybe .44 Russian? Something low pressured, but with a largish diameter.
Just wishing!
