Despite the label on the newer J-frame, that K-frame is going to handle +P better in the long run than the 5-shot. And keep in mind, today's +P is not much more than the standard pressure 38 Special loads of the pre-model marked days. I wouldn't hesitate shooting today's +P loads in any K-frame Smith & Wesson.
YMMV,
Dave
