No...Technically a Toy Poodle could "handle" get raped by a Great Dane but it doesn't really mean she would be the same Toy Poodle after the experiance.
LOL, well said but dang!
Makes you wonder if he was the great dane or the poodle.
This gun is chambered for 357 magnum right? I'm going to go against the flow here and say it should handle any number of +P 38sp loads. What about the gun would prevent this, cylinder wall thickness or top strap too thin?
Simply being an old design doesn't mean much, if the engineering essentials are there, esp considering modern metalurgy . We are talking about a full size Colt SAA type gun here right?
Considering the OP's reference to 38sp +P ammo in post #4 I'm assuming ,and making my comments based on this being a 357magnum chambered gun.
If a 40 oz or so milled steel revolver can't handle 38sp +P then woe to him who would shoot it with the 357mag for which it is chambered.
I've shot 357magnum chambered Uberti Cattleman revolvers with both +P 38sp and 357mag ammo and with no ill effect.
For some reason I was thinking 45 Long Colt in +P or deer hunting loads. I will give the nod to my fellow Perry Countian (on weekends anyway, Yes kalboy I am one of those Clark County Wonders that invade your fair land once a week to wear old Carharts, say "Yup" and squint while packing a big Smith on my hip)
With that being said I take back my Great Dane/Toy Poodle Rape anaolgy and knowing this is a .357 Magnum (which the Colt was made in) and say that yes, 38 special plus P's are okay.
With apologies to Dog Lovers everywhere ofcourse...
