No.
.357 Magnum uses more powerful loads and produces much higher pressure than the .38 special. Shooting a round with .357 pressures in a .38 gun is very likely to blow it up.
.357 Magnum has a longer case than the .38 Special. This was done specifically to prevent .357 ammunition from being chambered in .38 revolvers.
If you can chamber a .357 in a .38 special revolver, have it checked by a competent gunsmith before shooting it.
NO
You can, but, you should not. The frame is not rated for +P
Yes.
1. It can, but, it is not advised. 2. It is stated by Smith and Wesson that the model 14-3, which is the third change of the model 14 can safely shoot plus P ammunition.
Yes it does. The M&P is a fine weapon.

Be aware! Never fire ammunition in a weapon not chambered for it! Stick to the .45 colt ammo.
The current production Ladysmith (by Smith and Wesson) fires .38 Special ammo, and can use any factory .38 Special ammo. Do not confuse the current Ladysmith with a tiny .22 caliber revolver made by S&W years ago.
Yes but I would only shoot those loads with a 55gr.bullet or lighter.I believe the smith and Wesson model 1500 has a twist rate that is not made for the heavier bullets found in todays .223 ammo.
