Since Smith and Wesson does not recommend shooting 38 special +P ammo in pre 1958 revolvers why then did law enforcement carry the "Chicago" load (LSWCHP)? From what I have read this is a +P load. My revolver is a K-38 Combat Masterpiece pre 1957. Serial number is K164XXX. Did law enforcement start using the "Chicago" load when Smith and Wesson went to Model numbers?.
I would like know because I want to carry ammo in the revolver for self defense and would like to know the option.
Thanks
