It is a bit hotter. Ammo data can be found here.

It travels faster than the average 9x18 bullet but that doesn't seem to totally explain why it feels as hot as it does.

Some 3 or 4 years ago, when Fiocchi was more available and didn't cost so much, there were a few threads about the percieved recoil of this ammo. If you look quick you can still find those threads on the old board. I believe the recoil is due to a fast burning powder the Italians use.

I have really come to appreciate brands like Fiocchi, S&B, and Aguila - especially as ammo prices have risen. I'll pick them any day over Wolf.
