First, without getting long on the dog type issue, what makes Pit Bulls dangerous is that they are normally not afraid of anything and will not stop unless they are hit in a vital area.

The rounds you mention are OK. 38 spl. +P , 9mm Luger, etc will do the job. stopping aggressive animals is more about hitting their vital areas than the caliber. Heart and head works best. Lung shots can be effective but might take a while to have effect. My normal carry is a .45ACP, but you know what they say....a hit with a .38 spl is better than a miss with a .45.

Just make sure you practice and can hit with your pistol of choice.
