Bound's hubby here:
Your 10-5 Smith & Wesson (5th variant Model 10) should be quite capable of handling +P ammunition. When considering the use of +P or +P+ ammunition, your greatest concern should rest with whether your revolver has an aluminun or alloy cylinder and/or frame. Late model carbon steel or stainless steel revolvers of quality manufacture should have no problem shooting either of these "+" rounds. Revolvers chambered for the .357 can handle "+" rounds. I would not consider a regular diet of "+" rounds because continued practice with them could help develop some bad shooting habits.
Good luck.

For a better answer contact S&W, but with most newer guns they are safe, they will excellerate wear on the firearm they are used in. Personally I would get a box, fire a few to find the point of impact and just keep the the rest for defensive ammo. I would not make a practice to shoot +P's in the gun on a regular basis.

I did a quick search and according to people on a few firearm forums it's safe to use +P ammo in it.

Yeah, you can, but you pay for it with extra recoil, muzzle blast, copper fouling, and wear on the gun. I would not feed the gun a steady diet of the hot ammo.
