Hey.

I am a new forum member. I have a 38 special S&W revolver, model#10-8. SN 8D05XXX.

I know the rev was purchased new in either late 1981, or early 1982. It has a 4" barrel.

I wanted to determine when it was made and if ok to shoot +P loads.

Can someone help?

Mid-1981 is the best guess, so it would fit with a new purchase later that year. And yes on the +P.
