A good medium-frame DA revolver in .357 Mag seems to fit your needs....
Wheelguns are right-handed/left handed neutral when firing. The cylinder latch is positioned for right thumb use, but that's only when you're reloading. They offer an excellent SA trigger (especially the S&W) and a DA trigger that's not too bad.
With a .357, you can shoot .38 Special for practice.... very light recoil, and reasonably cheap to shoot. Just be sure to scrub the cylinder well after shooting .38s.
Try a Smith & Wesson M19 if you can beg, borrow, or steal one. Also, a Ruger GP-100 or an older Ruger Security Six. They all come with 2", 4" or 6" barrels. The 6" is primarily for target shooting, the 2" is the best for Concealed Carry, and the 4" is a compromise.
