I didn't mean to sound critical. I actually had an answer to post to the original question. lol I just read my post, and I think I missed the point. I know that my dad has a wheel gun, and he's not to keen on putting .357 magnum rounds through it, and that's what the gun is rated for! If I were you, I'd play it safe. +P is a pretty significant increase, if I am not mistaken.pfgrone wrote:No offense taken.

So, how dangerous to shoot a +P cartridge in a standard pressure 38 snubby? Might it result in a Kaboom with bloody hand and gun particles flying around? Has anyone tried it?

What I would recommend is going out and practicing a little bit with him, and then giving him the rest of the ammo. That way he could re-familiarize himself with the weapon, and you could get him some extra reloads of the proper pressure rating. It would probably be more dangerous to let him use the revolver, and be ridiculously out of practice with it, than using a different rated ammo in it.
That's my $.02, take it as you will.
