Shooting some good soft lead HP's at standard velocity will get the job done unless your BG is a bull moose. If you need a smallish revolver to treat with Corbon/Buffalo Bore/+P whatever, then buy a Model 60 or a SP101.

Regarding this issue of alloy guns, I have a new Model 638, alloy frame that is marked to shoot +p ammo. I also own a Model 36-1, steel frame from about 1976 in like new condition that I'm told not to use +p ammo with. Comparing the 2 guns, my presumption would be that the older model 36 would handle +p ammo much better than the new 638. Am I wrong?
