L frame. Bigger than the K but smaller than the N. There are some of each for sale on the auction side.
Look for a Model 520 - the NY State Trooper model. After that, finding an HD will seem easy. And economical.
I have a 5" version, transition model made in 1946 - single line manufacturers stamp. I'd say it's about 95% easy, cost me $800.00 about 2 years back up in Oregon.
S&W presently makes the N Frame Model 327, an 8-shot 357 fixed sight revolver. The cylinder is cut for moon clips should that be of interest to you. It's short barreled and light weight (relative to other N Frames) and expensive.

Yes, they did. A pretty snappy .38 that was beyond .38 Special, but would fire .38 Special.
