You seem to have done more research than a lot of people. And you recognize that a snubnose is difficult to learn to shoot accurately. Have you decided how you are going to carry? Some of that depends on your build. And, so far as I know, none are perfect.
My wife is small, arthritic, and recoil-sensitive. She carries a 351C in a "carry" purse. Granted .22 magnum is not as large as we'd like, but it's all she can handle. And she can't rack the slide on any semiautomatic.
I pocket-carried a Ruger LCR 38 sp for quite a while, and selected my pants so that they were compatible.
I now carry a SP101 in a Hide-It holster. Except for the difficulty in bringing the gun to bear, it's the best way I have found.
No solutions, just observations
