I can't speak for the general opinion. However, I believe like many do, that a steady diet of +P in any Detective Special including the issue with the shroud is to be avoided. I also believe that used occasionally, the +P will do no harm.

My opinion is that if you want to feed your Colt snub a steady diet of +P, then the later SF framed (SFVI, DSII, Magnum Carry) guns are better suited to handle the task.

We are not talking a steady diet of +P loads here. Maybe 50 rounds a year at most.

My 1932 D.S. is shot with 158 gr. lead SWCs over 4.5 Unique for practice,and as you said,about 50 rds a year,tops,and for carry,with 158 SWCHPs lead,over 5.5 Unique. Tyler adapter helps keep recoil/recovery managable! Bud

What's the general opinion of +P loads in the Dtective Special? Mine is late enough to have have the ejector shround on the under side of the barrel.
