I am woozy from anaesthesia, so please forgive me if this has already been suggested...
A Ruger Blackhawk with the spare ("convertible") cylinder. You could maybe get a longish barrel for variety. A powerful "Blackhawk only" 357 load would be quite different from 9mm. Or you could use weak 38 loads for plinking, something that can't be done with a semi-auto because there is no need for a round snappy enough to push the slide back.
A 6.5" or 7.5" 357 would be good for hunting.
And you could swap the cylinders (takes 30 seconds if I am slow that day) to shoot 9mm ammo whenever you felt like it. Buying 38's or 357's would be optional.
