Edited to add: In retrospect I believe "saw the light" was a poor choice of words, since I don't know if S&W was correct when they included the 38-44 reference or when they deleted it. I should have said at some point in time they changed their mind and no longer advertised the K frame as suitable for the 38-44.
The ".38 S&W Special Super Police" listed in those ads is the hot 38-44. Note the ammunition listed in this early N-Frame 38-44 ad:
