Use +P to your heart's content. Your wallet will wear out long before your gun.
I was already familiar with Colt certifying the Official Police for .38/44 soon after S&W came out with their Outdoorsman and Heavy Duty N-Frames chambered in it, but was not aware that S&W upped the ante by certifying their K-Frame .38s for it too. Can you offer a citation for this. I'd be interested in seeing that. Thanks.

I would challenge you, also, on Colt ever certifying their Police Positive for .38/44. Can you provide a citation? I'd be very surprised indeed if that turned out to be correct.
