Any steel framed J Frame .38 Special revolver with its offset cylinder stop notches is safe for use with ANY .38 Special +P loads on the market. My "weak sister" Model 64 is a K Frame six shooter with the stop notches directly over the chambers and is significantly weaker than any J Frame Model 36. In spite of this, my 64 will handle any +P+ ammo on the market. The +P designation is definitely overrated.
