I foolishly placed hard wood grips on mine. It stings bad. I tried various loads, even 200 gr. duplicates of military .38 S&W/200 at 550-600 fps. Really rough, I think it is more of a longer duration of the recoil impulse perhaps. With no weight of the chassis (12 oz.) the recoil speed is lots faster than a 24 oz. std. model. I'm now back to old standard 158 gr. JHP are usually a waste with minimal expansion, except in adds and magazine articles, minimal. I have some AA#7 and 1680 I might try but the fps is limited within a physics bracket no matter.
