I highly highly recommend Hornady Critical Defense here : budsgunshop.com/catalog/product_info.php/cPath/656_2081_10000566/products_id/56781/Hornady%2038%20Special%20Critical%20Defense%20110%20Grain%20Critical%20Defen/ ---- This bullet is optimized for short barreled revolvers, won't blind you or make you deaf in low light conditions. (Unaffected by thick and heavy clothing, including denim and leather - Patented FTX bullet delivers superior controlled expansion and large, deep wound cavities over a wide range of velocities - Clean burning and stable propellants reduce recoil in lightweight handguns, and perform consistently in all temperatures - Minimal muzzle flash protects night vision - Feeds reliably in all pistols - Shiny silver nickel plating prevents corrosion, and is easily visible in low light situations).

The Hornady is good too. It's less expensive also.

FED HYDRA-SHOK 38+P 129GR HP does the job and will not put you in the poor house budsgunshop.com/catalog/product_info.php/cPath/656_2081_10000566/products_id/714001991/FED%20HYDRA-SHOK%2038+P%20129GR%20HP%2020/500/
