+P ammo?

Post by StevenB »

I have a Taurus .38 revolver ultra-light. Do you know if I can shoot +P ammo through it? The manual was not clear.

I'd give them a call if I were you, IF you're pistol doesn't specifically say +P is ok. Better not to take a chance IMO.

In fact, I'd be really hesitant to use ANY +P ammo, on any weapon, until I verify with factory that it's ok.....but that's just me.

Great, I'll probably try the manufacturer to be sure. Thanks!

im certainly no expert , but im under the impression that +P is OK for a revolver .
my Taurus semi-auto , however, specifically states no +P

If your ultra-lite revolver is the currently manufactured 7 shot stainless Model 817 ultralite, according to their catalog specifications under the picture, it is +P rated. The blued model is +P rated as well.

If you have an older model and the barrel is not marked for +P, you'll want to contact the manufacturer with the serial number to be sure.

Taurus states on their website that all their currently made .38 special revolvers are +P rated.
