Can you shoot 38 p in a 38 special?
Yes, you can shoot .38 P (plus-P) cartridges in a .38 Special revolver, provided the firearm is rated for plus-P ammunition. Plus-P loads generate higher pressure than standard .38 Special rounds, offering increased performance. However, not all .38 Special firearms are designed to handle this increased pressure, so it's essential to check the manufacturer's specifications before using plus-P ammunition.
What does the 'plus P' mean in ammunition designated 38 special plus P?
Simply put, ammunition that is loaded to a higher pressure to achieve more velocity.

It's a .38 Special revolver. +P applies to the cartridge, and indicates a more powerful load than a standard round of the calibre.

Whether or not it can fire +P or +P+ ammo, you need to read the instruction manual and find the manufacturer's information on this.
