Get a 4" (ideal) or shorter barrel.
The modern long 6"+ revolvers are not meant for defense work, but rather are hunting or target shooting guns. Long barrels for police/defense work went out decades ago, and for very good reason.
They are easily taken from the shooter or pushed away, like you mentioned. A 4" barreled gun has the best balance of ballistics, accuracy, and retainability. Shorter barrels are even better for retainability and concealability, but do give up some practical accuracy and ballistics.
