Get some A-Zoom snap caps, put a dime on top of the topstrap and dryfire away. If you can get about 7 trigger pulls without dropping the dime, you're getting somewhere. I had some probems with the boot grips myself, so I took an exacto knife and shaved away some of the corner of the grip that was rubbing away the skin. It sort of rounded the area out. Also try shooting with your thumb curved down.

The Taurus manual says don't use +p or anything stronger than [email protected]
I shot some 124gn Georgia arms [email protected], and found it to have significantly more recoil than the 115gn WWB. FMJ. I would stick to a zippy 115gn or an anemic 124gn. I agree with the poster that said don't push these things too hard. Recoil wise, It should be a lot less than your 85UL. Especially if you're pushing 38+p in it. In fact, the 111 is a very comfortable shooting gun IMO.
