If you are talking about SD carry ammo for a small J frame then my ammo of choice would be Buffalo Bore 158 grain +P LSWCHP-GC. My second choice would be Speer 135 grain +P Short Barrel Gold Dot. Personally speaking I have never liked the lighter bullets and they never (at least for me) shoot POA = POI.

I would NOT shoot either one (or any +P for that matter) as a STEADY diet in any 2" Snubby. Weather or not it is actually rated for +P isn't the issue. Any more powerful ammo is great for SD/HD and on occasion for familiarization, but will accelerate wear more than a less powerful cartridge will. If you do Jack Rabbet starts from Stop signs all the time don't expect your automobiles engine and transmission to hold up it's longest (not to mention your tires)!
