May you safely use 38 plus P ammunition in your Rossi Interarms Model 68 38 Snub Nose Revolver with shrouded ejector rod?

Answer 1

In my opinion it would be a mistake to shoot +P ammunition in the Rossi Model 68. Since you should practice with the same ammunition that you use for hunting or household defence, the +P ammunition would eventually shake parts Cylinder and/or Crane) loose and become a danger. FYI, here is the history on this specific model.The first revolver of this series, the Model 68, was a development of an earlier revolver (the Model 27 Pioneer), and was basically the Pioneer with an adjustable rear sight and a ramp front sight. It had a barrel slightly under 3 inches, and was available only in .38 Special. It was produced from 1978-85. The Model 68S is a modernized version of the Model 68; it has a 2 or 3-inch barrel, a shrouded ejector rod. Blued or nickel-plated finish, and walnut grips. It began production in 1993 and remains in production. The Model 69 is basically a version of the Model 68 in .32 caliber. The Model 70 is the same idea, but is chambered for .22 caliber. As you can see, the model 68 went in production (1933) prior even to the idea of +P.
