Great for short barreled j-frame s&w - Speer Gold Dot .357 Magnum 135 Grain Hollow Point Short Barrel Pistol Ammunition

When I first bought my S&W M&P 340PD w/1.875 in. barrel with a lightweight scandium alloy frame. The first ammo I tried thru it was a standard 158 gr. load. The first shot banged my knuckle hard against the trigger guard. The 2nd round did the same. I then packed everything up and went back home.
I figured I would have to be satisfied with shooting .38s or maybe .38+Ps. While looking for .38s, I came across these 135gr. bullets and decided to give them a try first.
These still have a stout recoil in this light revolver but nothing that I can't handle. I can control my shots for accuracy and no banged knuckles. These now are my carry rounds for this gun.
