I haven't seen results myself, but I have read that the .38 Special 125gr Nyclad performed better in the street than the gel results would suggest. Since I favor street results, I've carried Nyclads before, still have a few boxes left, and it's still my first choice for a low-recoil self defense load. Unfortunately, it was discontinued a few years ago.
Some people have said that the Speer 135gr SB-GDHP +P barely meets the FBI standards in some gel tests, and fails in others, but it has an excellent track record in actual shootings and as a result is typically the number one recommended snubby load. It's what I currently have in my 642s.
Those are the only ones I can think of offhand that may qualify.
