So I shoot regular .38 special. Plain 130 gr FMJ flat nose. It's actually fun to shoot.
That's worse than the old police lead .38SPL which had a terribly poor record and that's with a longer barrel.

Try a heavier revolver and at least use +Ps, that 1.875" barrel further kills the ballistic performance of the round. Don
