Model 10 heavy barrels are sweet guns as-is.

You don't want to mess around too much with a defensive gun. I'd rather see you spend effort on dry firing the heck out of them so you know them like the back of your hand. Leave the mainspring stock and full strength. If you just HAVE to change something, install a slightly lighter rebound spring.

As far as ammo goes, use the .38 Special 158 +P lead semiwadcutter hollowpoint ammo. It'll shoot really close to point of aim, will be way easier on your ears (compared to .357 anyway) if you ever have to fire it indoors, and has a great track record in actual use. It shoots great in snubs too, by the way.

Practical mods: decent grips. Remove any serrations from the triggers and blend and polish the trigger face so the trigger "rolls" across your finger.
