She is not timid of it and enjoys shooting with the reduced recoil so I get her to spend more practice time. Lowered report and flash could be an advantage in a dark house. The extra barrel length raises the velocity a bit also probably helping expansion. I believe this is the proper purpose and application for this round.
Five of these center of mass trumps one +P in the shoulder and four in the door frame.

My wife also uses a 3" model 60. She didn't like the recoil of 110 gr.+P dpx, or Speer SB. I tried std. pressure 125 gr. Nyclads. She hated those too. I changed the recoil impulse of her gun by going to a heavier bullet. The solution has worked out well, 148 gr. DEWC target velocity handloads, which happens to be her range load as well.
