The Silvertip is a jacketed bullet, no "considered" about it. It is a "classic cup and core" bullet.
The reason for the warning is, as you note, related to bullet pull. All ammunition types have the potential for the bullets to creep out of the cartridge case under recoil. The more recoil the more likely. Just remember that you don't have to use +P.
For my purposes, old, damaged hands getting arthritic, the "best" ammunition for these ultra-"Airweight" revolvers is blanks!!! My steel frame guns can be painful enough at twice the weight.
All kidding aside, before I would carry ANY ammunition for self-defense in one of these guns I would mark two rounds and keep them in the gun while I fired at least 12 rounds in the other charge holes, and do this with at least two sets of test cartridges with no observed creep before I would trust my life to that ammunition. The results would be considered valid for only that lot number of ammunition! If you buy more from a different lot or manufacturer do this all over again.
