Scott, you are welcome Sir. The Ed Brown FX is another candidate. Now that we have settled the price quandary, I would go with the Ed Brown FX which has a custom build option to configure exactly what you want. The V-Bob is great but, a custom build FX is the very essence of unique. ---- https://www.edbrown.com/handguns/
Scott, You've got some rich carry options. What ever firearm you have the manual of arms down on, can get out of your holster and on target in 2 seconds and is reliable will work. Remember--3 seconds, 3 yards, 3 shots. Statistics do not lie.
we do try and all have our opinions its a little under your price range but maybe a S&W PC 357 like this one https://www.budsgunshop.com/catalog/product_info.php/products_id/26378/s%26w+m327+8rd+357mag%2f38sp+%2bp+2%22+performance+center
