I like my rubber boot grips, myself, but the Compacs are comfortable AND concealable and the Hogues are extremely comfy, but lack some of the concealability I like the boot grips for. Either the Pachmayr or Hogue will be much more comfortable to shoot with +P stuff, for sure. Both allow you to get your full hand on the grip which is the problem with the boot grips.

BTW, you may be pulling your shots left, very common. Work on trigger control. Mine shot left out of the box, not as bad, but more than I wanted. I also wanted a black sight (mine's a stainless UL) and I wanted an elevation wire installed in the sight. I had a smith dove tail a black front sight for me. Now, it's windage adjustable and shoots spot on as well as the elevation wire helps me shoot super light loads and heavy loads at longer ranges for plinking fun. I use this thing to whack a 15" gong off hand (okay, laying down shooting creedmore) more often than not at 100 yards. It's great fun at the range and just shows you what a good snubby is capable of. No, I don't expect a fire fight at 100 yards, but hey, it's fun. I don't always shoot serious training. More often than not, I'm just plinking. This mod was only about 80 bucks or so and personalized the gun for me. I knew I liked it when I got it and wanted to give it a little personal attention.

The PT111 will be a little stiff with +P, probably compare pretty much with .38 +P out of the UL. I'm basing this on my Kel Tec P11 which is lighter than a PT111. The P11 rocks you pretty well with +P and you can tell a gun is light when it kicks harder as the magazine goes dry, LOL! With WWB, I can put a couple hundred rounds through it no problem in a sesson. The PT111 is a heavier gun and will tame the recoil even more than the P11 KT. I don't think you'll find it objectionable, but then, I don't find the 85UL objectionable. LOL

Have you tried shooting wadcutters in the UL. They're quite accurate in my gun and very mild to practice with. I don't like to stress these guns with too much +P anyway. The majority of my shooting is with milder loads.
