For plinking stick with standard pressure....a few rounds of +P for self defense would be fine...but they are good SD options without going to +P
+P out of a snubbie really doesn't increase the performance that much from a 2 inch barreled revolver.....a good 158 gr. SWC Standard pressure or a 148gr. WC would be a reliable.. lower recoiling choice...
rules of picking a SD round
1. Dependability
2. accurate (placement)
3. penetration
4. controllable ( for follow up shots)
With a 38spl. snubbie the 148 gr.wadcutter and or the 158 gr.Semi-wadcutter
both standard pressure
Meets all the above mentioned criteria
Note expansion is not mentioned..never depend on expansion ...Placement , penetration ,recovery and then repeat.....until threat is stopped
