Yes, you can shoot .38 P (plus-P) cartridges in a .38 Special revolver, provided the firearm is rated for plus-P ammunition. Plus-P loads generate higher pressure than standard .38 Special rounds, offering increased performance. However, not all .38 Special firearms are designed to handle this increased pressure, so it's essential to check the manufacturer's specifications before using plus-P ammunition.

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.
