I used to have the Federal 110 gr .38 JHP defense rounds in my carry gun but I upgraded to the Federal 129 gr +p JHP defense rounds (Hydra Shoks) . The upside on the 110 gr was they have very little recoil but they also shot about 2" below POA at 15 yards in my guns because they are so light and underpowered. The 129 grain +p shoot exactly to POA and actually have about the same recoil as standard 158 grain .38 ammo I practice with anyway.
