Default 642 .38 spl only?

hello...I am still confused even with all the searches I have made. Can someone please tell me for sure if my no-lock alloy 642 can use +p ammo? On the barrel (all 1 3/4" of it), says: 38 s&w spl. Thats all.spec ord is 8026 which I believe to be Oct 26 1998. Any thoughts? oh, trademark and airweight are on the right side not the left. barrel stamps on left. Thanks.

Yes, it will handle all SAAMI compliant ammo, including +P.

"spec ord is 8026 which I believe to be Oct 26 1998"

That would be the 26th day of 1998 or January 26th, assuming you are correct about the year.
