Hear, hear!

What I find telling is that the same basic K frame is available in 9mm and .357, both 30K+ cartridges. The .38 Special loads are as low as they are to protect owners of old, poorly made off-brand pieces of junk. Or more specifically, to protect the manufacturers from being sued by the owners of said revolvers.

Funny how you never hear people asking if it's ok to shoot +P in their 547's, isn't it?

SP you ain't crazy.
