So far I've only tried them with 9mm, but they produced zero smoke, whereas plain lead generated a small amount in that cartridge. Nothing like the .44 clouds, though.
The only thing I noticed was the chemical smell often noted. But I didn't find it remotely objectionable or overpowering--for some reason it reminded me of shooting older ammo at an indoor range many years ago. It dissipated in seconds even on a warm, very humid evening with no wind.
I'm definitely going to switch to coated in .44. I might try it out in .45 as well, but I'll probably stick to plain in .38.
