I would skip the wadcutter's if you can get something better or if recoil is an issue. For many shooters and especially small framed or elderly, shooting a small framed gun with a correspondingly small grip and light weight is very hard with +P ammo. I have switched to steel framed guns in the S&W J-frame category to better deal with the recoil as I get older..
In my steel frame guns, a 5 shot S&W model 36 or CHARTER ARMS Undercover and in my 6 shot mid-size S&W revolvers, I use FEDERAL HST 130 grain jhp. Nothing seems to perform better in a 2 inch or 4 inch.
The biggest problem with HST, is that it is slow to reload your gun when using speedloader's or one round at a time, because of the wadcutter profile. I use REMINGTON 125 grain +P sjhp ammo. It shoots to the same point of aim and reloads a cylinder from a speedloader much quicker and without any problem. The negative is that the REMINGTON is not nearly as effective as the HST. It is however inexpensive and was available in 100 round boxes.
The other problem with HST is getting any!
I have been able to get more HORNADY Critical Defense and still have plenty of REMINGTON 125 grain +P ammo in my safe. It does not expand like the other ammo listed, but has a mild kick in a mid size gun and has been the most available prior to this ammo shortage.
In my alloy framed guns, right now, I am using WINCHESTER Train & Defend 130 grain jhp. These are standard pressure rounds (not +P) and use the same bullet as the WINCHESTER PDX1 Defender loads, which are +P ammo. These rounds have also been hard to come by.
I also used the standard pressure, HORNADY Critical Defense 110 grain jhp (not the +P version) in my aluminum framed guns. These rounds are the lowest performing rounds that I use, but seemed to be the most available.
I tried standard pressure 110 grain ammo from DOUBLE TAP as well as the COLT brand 110 grain jhp which is loaded by DOUBLE TAP and they are impressive on both the receiving end and the shooting end. The flash was bright, loud and recoiled like the +P ammo I usually shoot in steel framed guns. Now, I reserve the DOUBLE TAP (and COLT) 110 grain ammo for my steel framed S&W model 15 and RUGER Speed Six. Both shoot it well and I do not have to worry if the guns will loosen up.
I just bought some more DOUBLE TAP and keep an eye out for it. Like most premium ammo right now, it is hard to get.
For practice, I use 130 grain Air Force fmj loads or 158 grain lead round nose, with an occasional qualification with the good stuff.
