Having just looked on the site I mentioned in the OP, I see the 2.5" Smith and Wesson in .44,
but I didn't see any model of Smith and Wesson in .44 that has 7 rounds.
Be my guest at numbing your strong hand with some .44 out of a 2.5" barrel. :-)
It's a free country - or at least moderately priced.

SIA, I think you're going to have difficulty pocket carrying any snubbie holding more rounds than 5. The reason is the width of the cylinder becomes much larger. Also many non-J-frame.357 snubbies and most .44 special snubbies I know of the overall frame is considerably larger/heavier than the "standard" J-frame size pocket revolver.
Shooting buddy of mine tried pocket carrying a 6-shot Rossi .357 with two-inch barrel and finally gave up and purchased a S&W J-frame 5-shot. This Rossi is one of the smallest 6-shot .357 frames I've seen - smaller than a S&W K-frame (K-frame being the smallest available 6-shot .38/.357 frame that S&W offers).
Not saying it can't be done - all depends on manner of dress etc. - but be sure to try out these guns in person before assuming you'll be able to pocket carry them.
