Carry whatever shows adequate accuracy and hits to point of aim.

.38 special lead round nose? Might be useful for you to brush up on some recent loadings.
You will get about 910fps out of the Shield with the Hornady TAP 147 gr. Out of the Glock 19, you are closer to 960. You will have no expansion issues with the HST at 910fps.

Some various barrel length and weight results. Speer Gold Dot 124+p Short Barrel looks great. Did well out of a 3".
