There is an ad floating around on this forum somewhere for the 2 inch M&P (Pre-Model 10) that says it can shoot the .38/44, which is a 158 grain at 1125 fps.

+P ammo will not blow up an S&W. If you shoot enough of it, the stuff MAY increase wear. I think you have to shoot quite a bit to even do that.

Certainly you will not harm anything if you shoot it enough to figure out point of aim and then practice with it occasionally.
