Ryan Grizzle for the win if you want to carry behind the hip.
.357 K (and J) frames are really .38s that can handle .357s. L and N frames are .357s which will shoot softer .38s.

Depends. This is a m66-8 with meprolight. Sorry for the crappy pic. Some of the newer guns have easily removed pinned sights. Older guns and fixed sighted guns need a gunsmith.
The current version M66 is allegedly beefed up. I think you should try to wear one out with Magnums.
Shoot both before you buy. A lot of people (myself included) prefer the balance of the 19 from the slight extra weight of the underlug.
For my old project guns, I had the front sight block shaved off and a Bowen DX front and Bowen Rough Country rear sight added. The FO sight is awesome.
The heart wants what the heart wants. Because you are seeking advice, why not a heavy barrel Model 10 or 64, they are plentiful on the used market with a wide price range. With all honesty do you see yourself going to the range and firing 50/100 rounds magnums, if so you should reevaluate and consider going up to the N frame size revolver.
