1. You will have to call S&W for a correct answer
2. Plus P means higher than normal pressure ammunition.
"Other than 38 plus P" could mean another caliber, or normal pressure ammunition.
The caliber should always match the revolver you are shooting.
Normal pressure ammunition of the proper caliber can always be used in a firearm, unless the firearm is a machine gun which requires higher pressure ammunition to operate consistently.
Overall length The 38 special is a stronger cartridge. If you have a .38 Special revolver it can still shoot a .38 S&W but not the other way around.
You can shoot them in a .357 Magnum revolver, but that's about it.
Be aware! Never fire ammunition in a weapon not chambered for it! Stick to the .45 colt ammo.
No. This was made long before +P ammo was created.
Depends, A "Single Action" revolver, such as the Colt Peacemaker, carried in the old West, DID have to be cocked before each shot. A "Double Action" revolver, such as a current day Smith & Wesson, does not require that the hammer be cocked- it CAN be- or the trigger can be pulled, and the hammer will rise and fall.
Yes, you can shoot .38 caliber ammunition in a .357 revolver because the .357 revolver is designed to also shoot .38 caliber ammunition.

Pull the trigger
Thye smith&wesson model 28-2 was chambered for the .357 magnum cartridge.I would say Start with the one round that you and the gun shoot best.Then you can experiment on different weight bullet loads.You may also shoot standard .38 special loads in your model 28.
Do not attempt this!
