I'm not telling you to do anything I'm just asking questions.

Do you really think an Aluminum alloy frame revolver is stronger that an all steel frame revolver?

Is it possible to stamp a barrel +P before the standard was created? That would be like having a coin dated 100 BC, how would they know?

S&W has stated any of their all steel revolvers with a model number (post 1957) is safe to shoot +P ammo. IMO your M60 is better suited to shoot the +P stuff than your M637, not that commercial .38 Special +P ammo is that stout.
