This is definitely a good alternative, as it keeps the .38 useful even after heavy use, it's just that you actually have to worry about ammo on hand instead of never caring because you have a utility belt full of ammo, two boxes of ammo, both pockets with ammo, and a few more just in your bag.

14 shots for encounters, unless you decide to pocket a few individual rounds. Seems like a good number.
