Use of +P ammo in a Taurus 85M SS

Just bought a Taurus 85M, .38 Spl, in stainless steel today. It's the one that looks like a S&W Centennial. The owner's manual warns that use of +P, +P+, etc., may wear the gun prematurely or cause failure. However, this gun is entirely stainless steel, weights almost 24 oz, and it sure feels heavy and rugged enough to withstand a fairly steady diet of +P. Anybody know if regular use of +P in this gun will cause premature wear or mechanical problems, or is Taurus just being over-cautious?

Thanks,

Crash

Mine has shot +P with no issues at all. However I would not use +P as a steady diet once in a while should be ok.
