Like said, Power Pistol will probably get you there as will other powders of a similar burn rate like HS-6, Longshot and a few others.

IMO with a 158 LSWC bullet HS-6 will get you there with pressure to spare. I have developed a 158gr LSWC load that will achieve an AV of 972 fps from a 4" barrel using HS-6 but the load data isn't published so I won't post it. You can work up the load yourself using a chrono. Longshot will also get you there but I get poor accuracy when using Longshot with a Lead bullet in the .38 Special.
