Best Answer

1. Yes. I obtained this information by emailing Smith & Wesson directly.

2. The model 15 is a K frame .38 special revolver. The 3 suffix means third change.

All K frame models from the first change onwards are rated for plus P ammunition.

As are N frame revolvers and L frame.

The plus P ammunition does reduce average service life as you might expect.

What ammo should be used for a smith and Wesson model 10 38 revolver?

In MOST cases, the Model 10 is a .38 Special caliber. The barrel should be marked to show this. .38 Special (sometimes written as its original name- .38 S&W Special) is a different cartridge than .38 S&W. Early Model 10s may not but suited for frequent use of +P rated ammunition- it is loaded to higher power levels. The traditional cartridge was a round nosed 158 grain lead bullet- but 125 grain jacketed hollowpoint is frequently used for defense, and 144 grain wadcutter is used for target shooting.
