[QUOTE="ssgrock3, post: 691771, member: 71"] I think what thww person meant was some "lighter" meaning more like a target round, than a hot self defense rd. I don't think is cover all rule for bullet weight equals felt recoil, however you will find higher velocity equals more snap or felt recoil. in a .38 some nice lead semi wad cutter or wad cutter in 148 or 158gr woild be very gentle. you can download a .38 to the 650-700 fps range and not feel much at all, especially in a 4" or greater barrel. very nice to shoot, then if need be you can get or load some stouter ones...like a 125gr hp or fmj upto around 1050 or so.
