I like my K6s.
A pre-lock Model 19. However, there ain't much .357 Mag advantage (if any) over the FBI load out of a small barreled revolver.
Easy choice, for me, either a Smith and Wesson model 19 or model 66.

Wrong. A 357 will have 500 FPS over a 38 special from the same BBL length, that is over 2X the energy.
The .357 Mag advertised velocities were derived from 8.375" barrels that could take advantage of slow burning powder. However, I've always doubted advertised .357 Mag velocities.
Ha, in your dreams. My S&W Model 19 with a 2.5" barrel using a 158gr .38 Special +P load commonly called "the FBI Load" gets 940fps. If you believe a 158gr .357 Magnum load will generate 1400+fps out of a 2.5" barrel you are mistaken. Somebody needs to buy a chronograph.
