Yea, its not stamped for +P. Just wanted to ask before i attempted to run it thru.
ONLY in an extreme emergency, even then don't be surprised if you have function issues.Quote:

Take a look aroud here: http://smith-wessonforum
I don't think I'd run much +p though a dash 6 especially lighter weight bullets but the later 10-8 is fine with +p in my experience. You aren't likely to blow up the gun but the wear will be excessive and you may see some function issues as Jim indicated or worst case a cracked frame. If you must run +p try to stay away from lighter than 125gr and make sure not to allow lead to build up in the forcing cone.
Slightly OT to the OP, but don't run +P ammo in a mid 80's Sig P226 with full on mud rails (scalloped inside the frame rail groove).

I have never understood the thinking behind a +p in 9mm and up. Isn't a pass through good enough? If you need more velocity get a 10mm.
This will be my first revolver and i had a box of +p ammo from i dont know where. I didnt know there was a diffrence till i read online. Just didnt want to ruin a nice wheel gun!
