I wonder what they changes
Of course K-frames now will handle full .357 mag's, but not in mass quantities. I recall when they did the endurance upgrade to the N-frames to allow them to handle full .44 mags better, maybe something like this was done back then to the K-frames.
I also remember when Ruger upgraded the materials of the Redhawk to allow it to handle .454C, and I assume S&W did similar things before they produced their L-frame in .44mag.
Complete thread:
- When did S&W approve .38 Spl +P ammo in the K-frame? -
