If you can find ammo that has the velocity printed on the box, go for 158-gr. lead bullets and a velocity of around 800 to 850 feet per second.

That is the classic .38 Special load and is undoubtedly what your Grandfather would have been issued as a police officer.
The other classic load (and safe for old guns) that should also shoot really close to point-of-aim is 148 grain lead wadcutters.
