Hello From Texas

[Ragnar]

Hey folks, I just stumbled across this forum and thought I would join. I was hoping someone could give me some info on my Airweight 38 SPL. I think it is a model 37; when the cylinder is out the # "mod37" is visibly stenciled on the frame. The # 29J*** is stamped on the bottom of the handle. It has a 1 & 7/8" barrel. I've heard conflicting stories concerning the use of +P loads...is it a good idea or not? Thanks again.

Greetings from Northwest Georgia! It's nice to have you with us! +P loads once in a while will be fine.

Welcome from a fellow Texan Ragnar. Great forum for all things S&W, have fun, learn lots, share what you know.

Limited use of +P is OK, extended use will accelerate wear and timing issues.
