Looking for Short barrel Gold Dot .38 and
I am trying to find some SBGD .135 gr. for my 337 Ti and also would like to locate some 158 gr. LSWCHP ( FBI Loads) for winter time carry in it. Is the Buffalo Bore load about the same as the ones made by the big 3???
Thanks much.

I know them by reputation only, but yes, the BB FBI load is as good as anyone's, if not better. FWIW, if you're thinking about running heavier bullets because of heavy clothing, I wouldn't bother. When I tested ammo in Perma-Gel, I found that heavy cloth oftentimes causes bullets to penetrate further. IME clothing does very little to slow down a bullet. Instead it may modify their behavior by retarding or preventing expansion. If they shoot to POA, Corbon DPX would be your best bet for positive expansion and consistent performance, but I just don't see Speer SB not working well either. I would run with those if they're working well for you.

Another Buffalo Bore fan here. I use the standard pressure LSWCHP in my carry guns.

+1 for the BB standard pressure LSWCHP. I use in my 442, 66, 686, & Python - one load across the board. It makes things simple.

I have been carrying with Gold Dot Short Brl. 38 +P for over a year. I got them from MidwayUSA . The 158gr LSWCHP is a great round but did you look into the Hornady Critical Defense ammo. Nylon tipped jkt.hollow point--designed to go through clothing then the bullet expands. Hey, it is just a thought. I carry them when I go into NJ.

I've got a brand new box of 20 I won't be able to use.
I could ship 'em to you, but what is the protocol on shipping ammo?
