I personally would love a 2" 38 S&W I frame. That's the ultimate pocket gun, and I'm confident it would serve its purpose as long I put the bullets on target.

That said, Buffalo Bore uses such hard primers I avoid them these days. I imagine I'd end up handloading my carry ammo.
I tried it in an Enfield and a BSR (K frame 5”) and it was too much for those, too. The Enfield stopped working after 3 rounds - trigger wouldn’t come forward. It works now, but still feels glitchy. I stopped before I killed the BSR.
