The question was load for the .38 revolver, not best home defense tool-sensei said he used model 12 winchester with number 2 goose loads. SO, to get back to question- home defense with .38- I had Xgirlfriend use cast 158 grain semi wadcutter reload with the 146 grain wadcutter powder load made by a commercial reloader- this for 5 inch barrled 6 shot standard weight house gun. The target 146 grain hollow based Speer loaded backward is another possible for a 5 shot snub- was what a little barely 100 pound neighbor lady used as house and carry tool- moderate recoil, accurate at close range and definite mushroom in a groundhog body, less likely to penetrate mobile home walls- I gave her about 30 of the leftover bullets to use and test, she made it her standard with husband using couple grains Bullseye then went to Red Dot?. For the factory defense loads? the 125 grain hollow point +Ps flash a lot and don"t really do much more when hit while the Federal?? KantFlash is a load designed for 2 inch snubs with very quick burning but moderate pressure powder load- 125 grain half jacket hollow point or flatnosed 150/158 grain lead. Super Vel used to make a 110 grain half jacket wide hollow point and it had some defense incidents- did better in a 4 inch revolver but a couple 2 inch users noted in the stopped attacker reports from the Detroit Police shooting inspector/reviewer sometimes printed in Rifleman. My own opinion based on some familiarity-- the flat nosed lead or reversed hollow based Speer and fire 50 rounds a month after initial 100 rounds a week practice for 500 rounds- shooter will be able to flash align sights and shoot very good close to moderate range- 5 to 10 meters- and groundhog can be cooked using rabbit recipes. Burglars bodies can be left for coyotes or slow coming coroner van. Bigger gun? Tauru Judge getting some comments- but sister carries little Ruger single action .22 mag on belt and uses it for lots of varmit control, sometime with the .22 long rifle cylinder, so she"ll hit what she shoots at and it is handy on belt about all time working in field, going to town- need to shoot a lot with what is comfortable to carry and use, don"t need a real big gun that is awkward to use- I prefer old .44 special SAAMI black powder spec in .44 mag Ruger for target and general use or a low recoil 170 grain hollow point.
