Your are asking for an opinion. There are several revolvers that would fill this role well- in my personal opinion, the Smith & Wesson Mdl 60 revolver in .357 Magnum would be the revolver of choice.
You may also want to look at the Ruger SP101, preferably, in a hammerless configuration if you want it for concealed carry.

In the state of Minnesota, it is illegal for civilians to carry an expandable baton. According to Minnesota Statute 624.714, possession of a dangerous weapon, including expandable batons, is prohibited unless specifically authorized by law. Only law enforcement officers or individuals with a valid permit to carry a handgun are allowed to possess such weapons in Minnesota. It is important to be aware of and comply with state laws regarding weapon possession to avoid legal consequences.
It's compact and reliable. The .380 ACP leaves a bit to be desired, but it can be used effectively. The exposed hammer could be a hindrance for inside-the-waistband carry, and the manual safety could be something to get hung up on (in contrast to a firearm like the Glock 26 or Kahr pistols). While I wouldn't consider it an ideal choice, it's still a fairly popular pick for concealed carry.
The pros and cons of a pistol. Con: modern pistols of good quality seldom jam, but they can. On some models there is no second strike capability. The more complex something is the more likely it will fail. Pro: higher amount of ammo (pistols today carry from 6 to 19 rounds depending on size, model, and caliber). Ease of reload. The flat sides make concealed Carrie more comfortable. Cons of revolver amount of ammo loaded (5 to 8 depending on size model and caliber.) Cylinder makes concealed carry uncomfortable for some. Pros ease of operation. If round does not fire just pull trigger again. This is just a start there are a lot more pros and cons on both sides of the spectrum.
