Plus-P means the cartridge is loaded to a higher compression. In short, it means it has more powder and will have higher velocity than a similar cartridge that is not plus p.

Specifically, +P is loaded to up to 10% higher pressure than SAAMI standard. if a standard 9mm luger round has a pressure limit of 35,000 PSI, then a +P load has a limit of 38,500. +P+ is anything higher than this limit, theoretically up to the proof test loading of 130-140% of standard pressure.
Xtra power,or + powder= more BANG! Make sure your weapon is rated for it!

Can you shoot 38 p in a 38 special?

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.
