38 +P ammo is the cats meyow in a 38 revolver if it was made to handle this higher pressure ammo.........
A 148wc target load has 1.16 ft/lbs of recoil and the Rem FBI 158Lhp load has 5.86 ft/lbs of recoil but is a proven bullet in SD,over the years.

However a +P in a revolver made for 38 special "Non +P" loads can cause damage to the weapons action and working parts and spring the frame, making the gun usless.
Why would anyone want to kill a "work of art" just for a few more ft/lbs of energy shooting lots of +P til it dies.
