Don, do what you want with your gun. My discussions on +P are motivated by this wild, erroneous notion (that you apparently share) that +P is somehow harmful to a quality made gun. There is no need to avoid +P as it's a very mild load that is 3,000 PSI below industry standards for the caliber. You don't to look for a gun "approved for +P" since EVERY 38 Special revolver is approved for +P.
