+P in a 14-2 ?

[palooka]

Would it be safe to fire some Speer +P in a 14-2 ?

 

[bellevance]

Yes, absolutely.

 

[Gun 4 Fun]

S&W's stance is that any model marked gun is safe with +P.

With 10 millions lawyers in this country waiting to sue somebody, would any ammo maker sell ammo that was unsafe in a typical gun?

Does the 14-2 strike you as a particularly weak and fragile gun?

Does ammo loaded well below maximum allowable pressure seem hazardous?

Does a 125 at 925 FPS impress you as a powerful load?

To all those who feel 130 gr. .38 +P is "weak", I don't see them volunteering to take hits with one center mass and putting it on YouTube to show how weak that round is......

.22 Short is a weak round, .32 S&W short is anemic, .25 Auto is a joke.......but .38 +P does not belong lumped in with the "weak" calibers like it sometimes is.

All these debates go back to some crap about .38's not stopping Moro tribesman or some cops shot a guy 92 times with .38's back in '62 and the guy ran away.......38 +P is a good balance of power and control and would be more than effective for any human threats. A .38 +P in the face of a PCP addled attacker is better than 2 misses with a .44 Magnum, or the .357's that punch through your wall and land in your neighbors living room......

Now that depends on who your neighbor is.
