Are these revolvers rated for continuous +p use? I have heard that they are from some and no from others. This is a heavy barreled model 10

The K-frame S&W revolvers were made for the 38 special cartridge. The K-framed Model 19 and 66 had a bad reputation for wearing out rapidly when subjected to 357 magnums. The model 10 with continuous +P use will wear out more quickly than if you used standard 38's. The +P was originally developed for the S&W 38-44 (a hot loaded 38 special that was chambered in a heavy N-frame or 44 frame). Your smaller K- frame will handle it but it will not last as long.
