So, would this be the best way to find what I want: ([MDPS][rgsotef]{1,3})( )

If all you're interested in is finding them, but not replacing them, I would use just: <[DMPS][efgorst]{1,3}>
Do be aware, though, that you're liable to get false matches, such as:
Deer, Deft, Do, Door, Meet, Mess, Moss, Most, Pee, Pest, Pete, Poor, Sear, Seer, See, Set, Sore,
etc.
