The Security/Service/Speed Six were, if I have my history correct, released in .357 Magnum originally. They were then later on chambered in .38 Special, 9mm .38 S&W (and others?) in an effort to chase police sales both here and abroad.
I got to thinking about the .38 version of the 'Sixes. It would seem logical that the same heat treating would be used and the only real variation would be chamber depth. If this were true, then .38 +P should be absolutely no issue and things like the .38/44 HD loads should also be no real troubles (assuming adequate cylinder length). Correct?
Just idle thoughts on a rainy day....thanks for listening.
