I start practice with Remington .38 FMJ 130 grain ammo which is relatively cheap and very soft shooting. I change over and finish practice with WWB .38 +P 125 grain SJHP which I use for carry. Again, relatively inexpensive and very accurate in my 442. Recoil is mild. A little more snappy than the non +P but not uncomfortable either. Old school bullet technology but I sure wouldn't want to get shot with it.
