Haven't been keeping up with load development in .38 Spl for the last few years, especially loads developed for self-defense from a snub nose revolvers. Can body point me in the right direction for a round that is effective without too much recoil. I just bought a S&W 642 and need to start shooting it soon.
All help appreciated.

For carry I like the Gold dot +P low flash for short barrels. For practice any 130gr fmj
