.38+p is a type of .38 ammunition. The "+p" designates it as a hot load - one that will travel at a higher velocity and potentially dump more energy into a target than a standard load - and these more potent loads should only be used in firearms that are rated for such ammunition. If you use this in a gun that is not capable of handling the power a catastrophic failure could occur; this includes, but is not limited to, barrel damage, hammer/firing pin damage, and even the gun basically blowing up in your hand.
A ".38 +P revolver" is simply a .38 Special revolver which is rated to fire +P loads. It's still a .38 Special, and the +P doesn't change the dimensions of the round itself.
yes, but not too often in a light weight 38 revolver.
Yes. Shooting a lot will accelerate wear on the gun, but occasional use is OK.
The strongest ammo available for .38 (and for most any other caliber) is plus-P-plus. However, .38 special is not particularly effective against bears.
NO, NO, NO, NO, NO, NO, NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! DO NOT EVEN TRY TO DO THIS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The P-38 in 22LR is the only 22LR pistol made by Walther that looks like a P38
One that is chambered for 38 Super and rated for +P by the maker.
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.
x2 + 13x + 4 = (x + 6½ + √38¼)(x + 6½ - √38¼). To find this, we need to find p and q, where p + q = 13, pq = 4. 4 = 42¼ - 38¼ = (6½ + √38¼)(6½ - √38¼); thus, p = (6½ + √38¼), q = (6½ - √38¼).
caliber 38 is a caliber 38. bullet dia. is .357 caliber deals with the dia. or measurement around the bullet head, not the bullet case.
Yes it can. I do not think you will exceed the .357 pressures with .38 +P.
Close. a .38 caliber is usually closer to .357 caliber.
