S&W 360 Airweight. I'm not an ankle carry guy but I would say it would need to be an airweight or some such like an LCP/LCR. I personally love the 360 but it is a stout shooter with a lot of bark/recoil with the .357. Even 38+P has a good recoil. I agree with getting the .357 so it allows you the ability to be flexible in what you shoot out of it.
Be aware that with the .357 if you need it in a self defense role and you miss the flame thrower will still get him!!
