You would really need to get into reloading to make up some light loads, but the problem is the standard .38 Special is fairly light now. I would rather maybe trying out a different set of grips on the gun first. Maybe some Hogue or Pachmayr rubber grips. My light loads in my .38's has always been a 158 grain SWC and 3.8 grains of Winchester 231. It's like shooting a .22 in my K-frame 4-inch gun.
