No you can't Stuart it's Capable of chambering both .410 3" shotshell and .45 Colt Ammunition, this amazing combo gun is ideal for short distances - where most altercations occur, or longer distances with the .45 Colt ammo. . There are only four calibers that can carry a "+P" rating from SAAMI. They are 38 Special +P, 9mm Luger +P, 38 Super Automatic and 45 Automatic +P. There are no other SAAMI approved "+P" loads. Any ammunition in any other caliber marked "+P" is not SAAMI compliant, may be dangerous and should not be used.

Taurus does not recommend +P (High Pressure ) loads in the M44. This is for safety and warranty reasons on Taurus's part. This pistol is tested with "Proof" loads that are higher pressure that +P. An occasional excursion with this load is possible but not a steady diet worth. ***** I would recommend the Raging Bull for this*****
It is not recommended and would be hard on the gun
