Best Answer

If you're asking about " +P" or +p ammo, I'd say NO. Not unless it was a real emergency. This is expecially true if the revolver is rusty, heavily worn, or the cylinder wriggles a lot instead of locking tight after the gun is cocked.

+P ammunition has a lot higher chamber pressures than standard .38 special ammunition, and it is only intended for use in guns made for it, although I personally would feel OK using some limited amount of +P ammo in a full-size .38 revolver in good shape made by a quality manufacturer, if the gun is less than maybe 60 years old (give or take). But that's just me.
