Somebody posted earlier that it depends on what you want. Titegroup is my favorite cause it is the second best in every caliber I have ever loaded. Unique is close. Several other powders can beat it in one caliber but just one. Target loads is a good start get some experience and a good routine. Move to hot or specific loads. There is Info on all powders that will tell you what they are designed for which dou well with high pressure (blue dot) which will do well in average pressure (unique) which are magnum etc. I created a database of a few I used I will email it to you if you like or will post it hear if you want.

Pistol Powder

Universal Clays - best all around powder for what it sounds like you're looking for.
Works in 9mm, .45 ACP and .38 special. Large case volume, very clean and provides excellent accuracy.

This is a very good thread to have saved if you don't already. Have fun!

I'd be happy to give you some Unique, Bullseye, or Zip... those are the only three pistol powders I have at the moment, but I have several pounds of them. Give it a try and if it works you'll know what to look for.
However I will say that the Unique is dirty as hell like someone already said.

I like Titegroup for .38. Cleanest powder I have used. Not particularly bulky tho.

For 9 I use a good bit of Bullseye, but lately have been using Winchester Autocomp. Works great in my non-compensated pistols and burns clean.
I use HP-38 for 9mm, 45 ACP, and 44 Magnum. It's served me well so far.
