There is no such thing as a ".38 Special +P" firearm - it's still a .38 Special, with some indication from the manufacturer that it is capable of handling the higher chamber pressures of the more heavily loaded +P cartridges. That's the only difference between a regular and a +P cartridge - more powder.
Can you shoot 38 caliber ammo from a 38 plus p revolver?

Can you shoot 38 special bullets in the 38 special plus P revolver?
It's a .38 Special revolver. +P applies to the cartridge, and indicates a more powerful load than a standard round of the calibre. In this case, it would be a .38 S&W Special with a +P loading, hence .38 Special +P. You can fire regular .38 S&W Special cartridges through it. Whether or not it can fire +P or +P+ ammo, you need to read the instruction manual and find the manufacturer's information on this.

The .38 Smith & Wesson cartridge was created in 1876. It is a shorter, fatter, less powerful cartridge than the .38 Smith & Wesson Special, created in 1899 (they cannot be interchanged). The .38 Special +P is a .38 Special cartridge that is loaded to 10% higher energy than a standard .38 Special. The .357 Magnum is a longer version of the .38 Special that is loaded to MUCH higher energy than a .38 Special +P.
