THOSE DESIGNATED BY THE MARKING ON THE
BARREL. DOING SO CAN RESULT IN DANGEROUSLY
HIGH PRESSURES THAT MAY DAMAGE THE FIREARM AND
POSSIBLY CAUSE SERIOUS INJURY TO YOURSELF AND

AMMUNITION OR BORE OBSTRUCTIONS. NEVER
USE RELOADS OF ANY KIND.
“Plus-P-Plus (+P+) ammunition must not be used in Smith &
Wesson firearms. This marking on the ammunition designates that
it exceeds established industry standards, but the designation
does not represent defined pressure limits and therefore such
ammunition may vary significantly as to the pressures generated.
Some brands of ammunition may cause difficulty in extracting
spent cartridge cases from the cylinder or chamber. If this
situation occurs, thoroughly clean the cylinder charge holes or
chamber with solvent. If this condition persists, we recommend
changing to another brand of ammunition.
