OK, here's a description of what I'm looking for in a wheelgun. If anyone knows a model that fits this, let me know, please. Caliber: .357. Small to medium frame (I might want to concealed carry it), lightweight like the S&W airweight (love the scandium). 2 or 3 inch barrel. Double action. Hi-Viz front sight, adjustable rear. Pachmeyer Decelerator grips. Something along those lines. Can anyone help?

I really like my S&W model 60, .357, 2" barrel, stainless (pre-lock), loaded with .38+Ps in it. Also, I put boot grips on it.
I don't like adjustable sites on a carry gun as they can cause a hangup when drawing.
If you go with an exposed hammer gun, you need to practice drawing with your thumb covering the hammer as it will hang on to clothes too.

I like the model 60 as well, but stainless is heavier than what you're looking for. The Taurus 85ul ultralight might work with factory replacement combat grips. They're like $12. DOH! it's a 38spl! You might want to check it out anyway. One thing: Shooting 357 out of a lightweight snub can be quite disturbing. 
You might want to consider a heavier stainless weapon for that.
