It's also possible to step up to a just slightly larger revolver like the Colt Police Positive or Police Positive Special. These are still small enough to be easily concealed but have a slightly longer barrel and sight radius. I have even carried my old Smith DA Model 4 which is also a 38S&W as a pocket pistol.
Another that gets to go WalkAbout is my H&R 732 in 32S&W Long but with its larger hammer works best in an OWB Holster.
Once you move to the larger framed revolvers there is a whole host of possibilities. I tend to find the 4-5" barrel lengths the sweet spot when it comes to presentation and accuracy and usually the 5-6" barrels in 45acp or 357. My M19 and Highway Patrolman are both 357 capable but I generally carry 38 Special wad cutters since the shorter 4" barrel really doesn't work as well as the longer 5-6" ones with the more powerful rounds.
BUT for sheer fun when on the rifle range my Dan Wesson 15-2 with the 6" barrel in 357 Mag has gotta be right up there. I may not be quite as accurate as my friends with their rifles but out to about 75-100 yards I won't get embarrassed.

Great minds think alike!
