J-Frames and + P Ammunition

two-bit cowboy- Not sure I understand your point. The +P is 38 Special ammo. How is shooting it through a 38 Special revolver "pushing the gun further than it was intended?" The basic problem most people have in discussing +P is that they simply cannot grasp the fact that mainstream factory +P is not a hot load. It is actually a little lower in chamber pressure than the caliber was designed to be. Lawyers caused the bar to be lowered and pressures reduced.

Saxon, it's good to see the new generation is still debating the Airweight destroying power of Plus-Zero ammo. :)
