Please help with date of manufacture for this 2" snub nose. Serial no. on the butt is D290886. I have shot +P in it. Is that ok?

Thanks,
Mike

Are you sure your SN is D29? If it's 2D9 it's 1978, and if it's D9, it's 76-77.

That looks like a 1970 number to me.

My copy of 10-5 manual says +P fine 1958 and newer, enjoy that fine snubbie

+P is a standard pressure 38 Special load and is fine in any quality made gun in good condition.
