EAA Windicator .38 Special
Can the .38 Special +P bullets be used in this gun? I have the crome, 4" barrell model.
Also, how about The Armscor .38 Special with a 4" barrell? |

There was a thread recently on the Armscor .38. Upshot was, Armscor does not recommend +P.

If you're thinking of carrying these guns with more powerful cartridges, like +Ps,
and you had to use it, probably nothing bad would happen with the few rounds fired. But they are not meant to have +Ps for a steady diet. Better to choose ammo of normal .38 pressures, that are recommended as effective for your needs. If you really need more, best get a .357.

Both low-grade guns. The EAA Windicator is infamous for fundamentally bad metallurgy, which of course can't be fixed after the fact.
