Never shoot .38 +P in a K frame.
Never mind that the same gun was also chambered in .357 Mag, at MUCH higher pressures.
Shooting .38 +P in a K frame will cause a rift in the space-time continuum, generate a black hole, blow out the bottom of the sea, and let all the water run down the hole.

Seriously, if it's safe in a beer can Airweight J frame, it's seriously underkill in a steel K frame.

How many here remember those Winchester 125 grain -P, er, +P Silvertip .38s that run 700-750 fps?
Real heady stuff, there. (dripping with sarcasm)

Make mine Buffalo Bore 158 grain SWCHP +Ps, please.


I think I'll really live on the edge, and shoot .357 magnum ammo in my 586 .357.


I propose that RGs are the reason for the castration of .38 Spl ammo.
