I think if you want to shoot high velocity then you should buy a magnum. If you have an older gun and have any value for it them why would you be stoking it with something you are worried would ruin it. After seeing several cracked alloy framed guns recently if gets easy to believe the use of +P's are the culprit. Shooting some good soft lead HP's at standard velocity will get the job done unless your BG is a bull moose. If you need a smallish revolver to treat with Corbon/Buffalo Bore/+P whatever, then buy a Model 60 or a SP101.
