FWIW, it's not my story. Maybe I'm being remiss in re-sharing it. Cuz I don't know what the truth is. But I felt like there were more than 1 guys saying it. I do believe it was in my thread about 38/44's in the hand ejector 1896-1961 forum. Here's the thread. The guy stating it seems to know a thing or two....

So, I'm guessing you can shoot +p's in a 38/44
