I carry my trusty 638 with a 2.5" bbl every single day at work as a police officer. It's my BUG and it will do the job required. Besides, most documented cases of officers using their BUG's were up close, very personal and usually after the proverbial "feces hit the fan".
My dept. thankfully issues the Speer .38SPL+P 135gr. GDHP-SB load that has worked quite well. It's also my to and from work gun since a Glock 35 with a TLR1 is not fun to pack around concealed.
I read an NYPD Det. used the aforementioned Speer load on a miscreant in the subway from a 1-7/8" J frame. The suspect was DRT after it punched thru the perp's arm. It worked as advertised.
That new 'Micro' round looks suspiciously like an old lead HBWC round to me?
