"The 38spl+P has noticeably more mustard than the std round, in my experience."
Only when compared to current standard ammo. Standard ammo in decades past was hotter. In the 1950s the std load was a 158 at 870 (usually ran an actual 800-820). Now it is a 158 at 730. Much weaker.
+P was created by lawyers. IMO it is a mild target load. No idea why it hurts your hand. To me it's a wimp.
