Without offense to anyone posting since, Post 96 should have been the last word on this subject.

Thank you, Alk8944.

The FBI adopted the Colt Police Positive in 1933 or thereabouts and specified its ammo as 158 grain Keith bullet at 1125 fps. It was not called +P. It was called 38/44. And the Police Positive is a very small frame, with lock-up at only one end.

That should also help everyone understand that this business of +P is overdone and people worry way too much about it.
