Mrs L carries a Ruger SP-101 loaded with +P .38 Spl ammunition. Anything more powerful is just wasted powder in a 2” barrel. But it will do the job.

I shot one of those a couple months back with regular .357 rounds. Rather stout, old boy. I'd have to really dislike someone to enjoy shooting that stuff in that gun. I think I put some Winchester 145 gr. Silvertips through it. Surplus ammo from the West Virginia State Police. Ouch. But it might have been a 3" barrel. :)

.38 SPL +P at close quarters from a snubbie will usually get the job done.
