A Rhino of course!
An interesting engineering example. Butt ugly but hear they work well. The barrel is on the bottom. So, muzzle flip is reduced.
Just so- it's a Chiappa Rhino. The barrel aligns with the bottom chamber of the cylinder so the bore-axis is in-line with your arm. It really does reduce muzzle-flip and the recoil management is amazing. Recoil from full-house .357 Magnum loads feels like 38 Special +P out of a steel J-frame, and .38 special loads feel like a .32. I load it with Buffalo Bore .38 LSWCHPs (designed for short barreled guns.)
I like to tell people I ripped off Jane Cobb's BUG...
