Another vote for a K frame. Hard to beat. I prefer adjustable sight guns. Lotsa model 15s out there.

If you are not looking for a carry gun, .357 gives you more flexibility than .38. A 4" or 6" barrel gives you more accuracy. If you will do anything that requires a holster, the 4" will be easier to find one for. Adjustable sights will generally be easier to see, and revolver sights are not as cheap and easy to change as semiauto sights.

If you want to know what a revolver can/could be like the early K-frames are like butter once they have some time on them. But you pay for that, and you have to search one out (but that can be part of the fun). If you just want to walk in and buy something, I think these are pretty cool:

Yeah, it is MIM, and yeah, it has a lock (I presume?), but I have a M-69 (44mag) that is MIM-Lock and it really is pretty nice, just not what everybody, including me, wishes it was. And it has a pinned front sight.
Do you wanna play with big boomer 357 rounds? One of the GP-100s would be nice. They occasionally make some 5" variants, one that is one My List.
Not mentioned yet is the SP-101. I know you said not to carry , but my 3" is just a handy package:

Used guns, get a copy of "the Revolver Checkout" and then look for a nice used gun. Don't overlook finish-challenged ones, as often their mechanical condition is good. 4" revolvers, back in the day, were often carried a lot and shot little.
For .38s, it's hard to beat a K-frame Smith.
If you're looking at a gun that may be fired inside a room, a .357 is probably a bit deafening.

This was my first revolver purchase. Love the thing.

I'm going to add another vote for the GP100. Built like a tank, if you shoot it loose, you will be my personal hero.
Older S&Ws have nicer (smoother) triggers, but are likely to be A LOT more expensive.
For a nightstand gun, .357 is the obvious choice. I LOVE 4" revolvers, but as others have noted, 6" will be easier to shoot well, and the extra length is unlikely to be an issue for a range/nightstand only round gun.
Older K-frame Smith 38. Police or armor car company trade-ins. I have several M64 and M10 revolvers like this and they're excellent. Butter smooth actions & no locks. Much better than current production IMO.
