I can tell you from experience that the +P version of this load is stout with a capital S and generates more recoil than a number of .357 Magnum loads. Even out of a 4" K-frame, the +P load isn't for the faint of heart. Unless you've trained yourself to handle that kind of recoil, I'd suggest the standard load in your snub-nosed revolver.
