I recently purchased a Taurus .38 special snub nose. As usual the online purchase was processed and shipped within 2 days. The price was the best I've seen anywhere. I'm a repeat customer and expect to remain so, Bud's handles everything quickly and easily. They even answer their phone! That's a REAL perk in this day and age. Highly recommend.

Q: is this rated for +P or not
Author: John P.
(4) ANSWERS
A: John, yes sir, this revolver is +P rated, but do not use +P+. Have a great day!
Author: Ed C.
A: Yes it is rated for +p but I can tell you that it has a stout recoil with +p I changed to a set of Hogue grips and it became 100% better with heavy loads
Author: Randy I.
A: John, Taurus rates all their current line of firearms as +P Sir. +P essentially has more powder and burns completely in 4 inch barrels. This is where you see the benefit of the stated extra velocity. Not so in a snubbie unless optimized for short barrels. You will get higher recoil, muzzle blast from unburnt powder making night vision difficult and follow up shots difficult. +P has it's uses, with the appropriate barrel length but, it is a point of diminishing returns in a short barreled revolver. Cheers and stay safe!
Author: James G.
A: John, it sure is. This will handle +p ammunition no problem. Hope this helps.
