Re: Question 'bout Caliber sizes
flb_78 wrote:+p has more powder then the standard 38 increasing the pressure. It allows for more velocity but the increased pressures can be devastating to a gun not rated to handle +p loads.
Any thought plz... i find myself pondering a lot of what if's right now...TheBlake wrote:The reason i ask is BC my mother-in-law bought a rossi .38 spcl for home defense (her first gun ever!). she did not have a clue as what to get for ammo so i bought her the only .38 spcl i could find, which i believe was hornady +P.
Saw an ad for the new Taurus .38 spcl +P pistol last night in a magazine and got a little curious as to why the barrel had the +P specification on it, as i was under the assumption that it was just a hotter round.
Should this ammo be fine for her gun or do i need to do an emergency swap for her?
