No. You can fire .38 Special (and .38 Special +P) in any .357 Magnum firearm, not .38 Auto. Do not attempt the reverse (firing .357 Magnum in a .38 Special firearm); the results will be disastrous.
The .38 Auto does not have a rim large enough to hold it in a revolver's chamber, and the bullet is most likely not the correct diameter.

Why is a 38 special called that if its actually 357?
Your gun is a 357 and can shoot both 357 ammo and 38 special ammo. The nice thing about these guns is you can practice at the range with 38S bullets, which are much cheaper, and save the 357 ammo for home defense.

Yes,a model 27 N frame revolver can handle +p ammo.I would advise you though that steady use of +p ammo will hasten the revolver becoming loose over time.Much quicker than if you used standard .357 Magnum loads.
