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.

Can you shoot a 38 special round out of a 38 S and W?
They are two different calibers, the 38 special round being a later invention. The 38 special should not fit into the 38 S & W chamber. But as the 38 special was not anticipated at the time the 38 S&W was first made, it can have a chamber that does fit the 38 special. As the 38 special is a higher pressure round, and comes in even higher pressure plus P cartridges, it is a bad idea to try to fire these in a 38 S&W revolver. It can crack or burst the cylinder among other things.

Can you shoot 38 Special plus P ammo in a 38 caliber pistol?
Depends on the pistol. If there's nothing about this in the owner's manual, or there is no owner's manual, you should contact the manufacturer for clarification on this matter. If you're unable to do this, a gunsmith should be able to determine this for you. .38 Special +P is .38 Special ammo, but with a higher powder content, which generates higher chamber pressures. Older .38 Special revolvers which were manufactured before the advent of the .38 Special +P cartridge did not have to be mindful of this when they manufactured their revolvers.
