S&W Model 360, ok for .38 +P?

[T2K]

I have a S&W model 360 Airweight. Just plain 360 on the frame, no prefixes or suffixes. It clearly states the caliber as "S&W .38 CAL" - but I've fired it many times and it's .38 Special.

Question: Can I shoot +P in this? I never have. I have searched on the internet and on this site and found little concrete info, apparently this model is uncommon and usually it's a .357 caliber.

Thanks

That's a model 360J, they've made plenty of them in several runs over the last 6 years or so. Lots of info can be found on the S&W forum. Yes, they are +P rated, as are all S&W J frame .38spls since they switched to the J magnum frame back in the mid-90s.
Google 'S&W 360J' ad you'll find plenty of info.

I had the impression that the model numbers stamped on S&W frames were quite precise, so I thought it wasn't a 360J since it just has 360 stamped on it.

Now that I know that it's a 360J, all is a lot more clear and you're right lots of info is available. I only own two S&W's so I'm not very up on the nomenclature.

Thanks

I bought one from Bud's for a custom project 5 or 6 years ago when they did the first run of them. I need a scandium snubby and they were the least expensive ones available and they're built on the M&P 360 frame so they're pretty tough. I couldn't find a pic from when I first got it but this is what it looks like now, as you can see, the markings are the same as yours.

Yours seems to have had lots of modifications: front sight, cylinder, hammer, grips...
