The .38spl is a tried and true round inside a great J-frame or Colt DS. I always looked at the 9mm short-barreled revolver kind of gimmicky.
My two cents.

"Gimmiky" is a most appropriate way to put it, but I suppose ballistically, if you get the best ammo for each, the 9mm isn't far behind the .38 Special.
No disrespect to any of the previous post but this wasn't about 9mm vs. 38 Special. The OP question was what would be better in a revolver.
I shoot a lot of competitions and have seen 9mm bullets in a revolver creep out of the case, sometime just a bit, sometimes locking a cylinder up, once falling out completely. Some of my fellow squad mates have a single stage press set up just for crimping factory 9mm ammo.
