Unless you are shooting insane hot rod ammo, you will give out before your 642 does.
And, no current factory +P ammo is not insane hot rod ammo.

you won't be able to keep count of the rounds it'll take
shoot it, enjoy it
shoot it, enjoy it
What everybody else said!!!!!!!.........Shot & enjoy. Mine's still going strong since 1996.
^^^Agreed. I've lost count and the only thing I notice is a progressively smoother trigger.

Greg Bell over at M4Carbine.net has fired over 5,000 rounds through his 642. Many of the 5K rounds fired are +P. Every round fired is documented in the thread. The gun still looks and shoots like new.
Project: Break my J frame.
Given the advancements in modern ammo, you don't need +P. The Buffalo Bore Standard Pressure Low Flash 38 loads expand down to low velocities and have excellent penetration. Speer and Hornady offer loads in standard pressure 38 that are comparable.

Can you say, "Lifetime Warranty"?
