My rule of thumb on using +P in my own Model 36, I practice with plain 38 Special ( in fact I use wad cutters ), at the end of the session, I fire one cylinder of +P's just to make sure my sight picture is still there, and then for carry I loaded up with +p again. If you shoot high pressure loads on a continuous basis, then you are only going to shoot a very fine gun loose.
