Q: Can you shoot+P in this pistol
Author: Stanley B.
(2) ANSWERS
A: Hi Stanley and welcome. Yes. Yes they can handle +P but we do not recommend it for the following reasons: +P ammo requires a four-inch minimum barrel to burn the extra powder. From Charter Arms own FAQ's : https://charterfirearms.com/pages/faqs#:~:text=Yes%20they%20can%20handle%20%2BP,to%20burn%20the%20extra%20powder.
Author: James G.
A: Hi Stanley, straight from Charter Arms FAQ page - Can I shoot +P in my .38 revolver? Charter .38's are among the smallest revolvers in this caliber. Yes they can handle +P but we do not recommend it for the following reasons: +P ammo requires a four-inch minimum barrel to burn the extra powder. Therefore, in a two-inch barrel the extra powder is burned after the bullet leaves the barrel creating more recoil and making it harder to come back to target. We recommend a standard velocity load and practice with round nose lead rounds which are the least expensive. When you load for protection, use a jacketed or hollow point in the same grain you practice with. . Stay safe & have a great day!
