So are the Buffalo Bore....read WoodStalkers link. Lot's of good choices these days but eventually you have to make a decision and I went with Buffalo Bore.... Hope I never have to find out if it was the right one.

Been carrying the Buffalo Bore hardcast full wadcutter standard velocity in my old M38 Airweight Bodyguard for years now. The reload is the soft 158 gr. SWC-HP standard velocity from Buffalo Bore.
Every normal man must be tempted, at times, to spit on his hands, hoist the black flag, and begin slitting throats.

The wad cutters are for a 637 airweight that lives in my truck console.

The Buffalo Bore wad cutters showed up yesterday so I ran a few through my little airweight today.
Even though they claim they're milder they're still pretty snappy....not bad though and they're definitely quieter.
They're not as accurate in the snubbie as the 158gr SWC's I shoot in my other 38 but I shot a couple of 3" groups at 7 yrds which is as good as I can shoot a handgun. (5 shot groups cause that's all it holds)
I think I'll get a speed strip, fill it with some of the TSX HP's I have on hand and call it good.

Most all of my cop buddies that carry Airweight .38's as their BUG or off-duty gun keep them stoked with Speer Gold Dot 135's.
I've shot stout 158's in my 642 and shot follow up is almost completely unmanageable.

Based on a sample of 1 Remington Golden Sabre 125 grain +p
Does a nice job on a big feral cat in the loft.
Cleanup crew asked if I used an elephant rife?
I like to do my hunting BEFORE I pull the trigger!
There is only one kind of dead, but there are many different kinds of wounded.
