Re: Test Driving a S&W Airweight

Chronograph results on the critical defense .38 special +P 110 grain from what I have seen is right around 950fps from a short barrel. I either carry these or the gold dot short barrel 135. They do about 850fps or so. The Remington 158 SWCHP Treasury load is noticeably hotter and they do about 860fps. The difference between the Remington and Gold Dot load is very noticeable to me but the 110 Hornady and 135 are close in recoil imo. Hope this helps.

Edit: Here are some good articles on them
