The most accurate handgun I ever owned was a .38 Special. Even beat my .22 LR rifles and handguns. It was the wonderful Smith & Wesson Model-52.
In one-gun-only scenarios, though, I have to agree with the OP, the .38/.357 revolver is a tough one to beat. Rather than full wadcutters, though, I would opt for the semi-wadcutter as a good "do most anything" round.
