That Tarus .38 Ultra-Lite is tough on the hands when shooting +p rounds but still is a very sweet concealed carry choice for smaller persons. Along with a .357 w/ 4-in barrel and a Mossberg 500, then you got your bases pretty well covered.

I'm a big guy and find it very easy practice with regular 158gr for practice. I wouldn't want to fire hundreds of the +p rounds, but I blow off a round every practice and it stings a bit, but quits hurting when I quit shooting.

The porting helps control a bit, but needs to be considered as a source of pain if you get into a retention situation (better scorch marks on your belly than dead). However, snubbies are at their most devasting if you can deliver a contact wound to some bad guy.

I love the light weight, 13.7 oz unloaded it floats in my pocket.
