Charter Arms Undercover Lite Goldfinger .38 Special Gold Anodized Revolver

A: Yes it is rated for +p ammo

A: Rated for +p should shoot anything.

A: This pistol will fire the Hornady critical Defense 38 spcl just fine. i recommend going with the standard load rather than the +P for reduced muzzle blast out of the short barrel and better penetration as well. light, high velocity, expanding bullets tend to penetrate less as evidenced by the less than 12" average penetration tested here (https://www.gunnuts.net/2013/09/24/hornady-critical-defense-38-special-p-review/)

A: No Keven. You should start out with a 357Magnum handgun which will always allow you to shoot both 357 and 38. A 38 cannot be safely modified to shoot 357Magnum rounds.

A: No and NO the 357 is a HIGH pressure round and the case was made longer to prevent it from being used in the lower pressure 38 special guns and revolver barrels are fixed to the frame and would require extensive gunsmithing to change

A: No Keven. You should start out with a 357Magnum handgun which will always allow you to shoot both 357 and 38. A 38 cannot be safely modified to shoot 357Magnum rounds.

A: sorry but no the round is longer so it isn't just changing the barrel
