Sounds to me that he is talking about a .38 spcl revolver, and you are talking a .357 revolver. Then what he said and you are saying would both make sense. I don't think the instructor was talking a .357 revolver.

No +P is going to do squat to a .357 gun.

Some Mfgrs don't recommend + P in some of their 38's, or constant use of it. Depends upon the model and the manufacturer.

You can supposedly shoot Buffalo Bore in a S&W 686 .357 constantly, and that's well beyond any .38 spcl +P that I know of. Call S&W and see what they tell you.
