Out of curiosity I checked the manual for my Taurus 738 .380 regarding +P ammo, and it is NOT qualified for +P:

WARNING for “+P” Only fire SAAMI rated Plus P (“+P”) ammunition in Taurus Models designated by Taurus for +P use, as below. Firing +P ammunition in other Taurus products may be dangerous and can result in serious bodily injury or death.

Model 85 small frame revolver in 38 Special.
Model 850 small frame revolver in 38 Special.
Model 851 small frame revolver in 38 Special.
Model 85 Polymer small frame revolver in 38 Special.
Model 82 medium frame revolver in 38 Special.
Model 817 medium frame revolver in 38 Special.
All firearms chambered in 38 Super Automatic.
All firearms chambered in 45 Automatic.
All firearms chambered in 9mm Luger.

WARNING Even if your Taurus firearm is rated for Plus P (“+P”) ammunition, such ammunition generates pressures significantly in excess of the pressures associated with standard ammunition. Such pressures may affect the useful life of the firearm or exceed the margin of safety built into many firearms. Unless you need +P ammunition, do not use it, particularly for practice.

BOTTOM LINE: CHECK WITH THE MANUFACTURER
