Arquebus357,
I believe you are referring to what is usually called silver-bearing solder (2-4%), which is technically a soft solder with conventional lead or tin-base. Silver solder, though not a technically correct term, has long been an abbreviation of "silver hard solder" or brazing alloy, and that is what Brownells used to sell its blacking material for. I am guessing you use Harris Safety-silv 56 or a copy of it. I use that and their 45T product. All good stuff.
Here's one for pure silver that may work, but I would contact the maker before trying it. This is another option.
I agree with you both about the 3" barrel. It's my favorite compromise between compactness and shootability. I've never really been able to get a snub-nose to print well, but a 3" will let me shoot the ten ring out of a 25-yard target. The difference is surprising.
