Also, being a wadcutter it causes issues with speed loaders....

You can buy lvl IV ceramic plates from LAPG for $115/ea. You aren't going to shoot through that with a 38 Spcl even if you had solid tungsten bullets. The solution here isn't equipment, it's training. Guys like us generally train to shoot center mass. That's the only place those 10x12" plates cover. Do what LE/MIL does and train to shoot the pelvis or head when the attacker is wearing armor.
