MB, you are absolutely correct.

Small, pocket-sized, top-break revolvers pre-1940 should not be loaded over the US SAAMI specifications for the .38 S&W, meaning a sample maximum average pressure of 13,700 psi. CIP standards permit an X-bar+3 Sigma limit of 1200 Bar, or 17,400 psi, which is close to US limits for standard pressure, (not +P) .38 Special.

The WW2-era Enfields and Webley & Scott are much more substantially built than the tiny old pocket guns.
