I'd say no to the +P in the S&W. Whatever the actual ballistic difference, I know the dif when I shoot +P as opposed to standard stuff in my Airweight. (Ouch! Darn aging wrist!) So I wouldn't shoot +P in a gun not specifically rated for it.
I too prefer bigger bullets and more zoom than the 38 snubbie gives me, but I can carry the Airweight in my pocket when I wish without any problem with concealment. And I don't know anyone who wants to get shot by it. So I guess it'll do.
