I have a 1975 vintage M36 and when I carry it I load it with standard pressure Federal Nyclad ammo. It's not because I'm worried about harming the revolver, that ammo just shoots so well in that revolver.

I agree a few rounds now and then of +P ammo will do no harm to any post WWII all steel S&W revolver. The ammo shot in those revolvers back then was "hotter" than the stuff being marketed today as +P ammo.
