A: Hi Val and welcome. Yes, all Taurus firearms are +P rated. Just increase the frequency of inspection and maintenance since a steady diet of +P increases wear and tear. Cheers and stay safe!

A: It is generally not recommended to shoot +P .380 ACP ammunition in the Taurus 58 .380 ACP 4" Stainless Semi Auto Pistol unless explicitly stated in the manufacturer's specifications, and it is likely that the pistol is not rated for it, according to some gun forums. While some .380 ACP pistols are designed to handle +P rounds, it's crucial to verify that your specific Taurus model is one of them. Using +P rounds in a pistol not rated for them can lead to excessive wear and potentially dangerous malfunctions.

A: NO since there are no SAAMI specs for .380 super it will void your warranty "Today, several popular self-defense cartridges are available in +P loads—.38 Special, 9mm and .45 ACP. On average, pressures generated with these hotter cartridges increase roughly by 10 percent. Velocity improves, but bear in mind the amount varies with bullet weight, barrel length, and other factors. A standard 9mm 124gr bullet has velocities of around 1150 FPS, while a 9mm 124gr +P bullet is around 1200 FPS. Some companies produce loads for cartridges in which SAAMI does not provide standardized pressure specifications."
