m gardner Posted June 25, 2009 Report Share Posted June 25, 2009 More pressure and more velocity and power. Make sure the manufacturer of your handgun says it's okay to use them. Even if it is, usually they say to limit the amount you use. Most full size .357 magnums will handle 38 special +P's with impunity because the 357 operates at higher pressure to begin with and can take the extra pressures. These cartridges are usually expensive and for self defense. Mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
