38 Special Revolver FAQ

What does +P mean on 38 Special?

It marks a higher-pressure load with more velocity. Only fire +P in a revolver marked as rated for it. The rating is stamped on the barrel or listed in the manual.

Should a 38 Special carry gun be lightweight or steel?

A light alloy frame is easy to carry and kicks more. A steel frame weighs more and shoots softer. Pick for how often you will carry it versus how often you will practice.
