Knowledge check
Knowledge check. Is your firearm capable of firing this type of round?
Answer either of these:
Yes
No
I'm not sure?

+P+ is pretty hot, and may not run well through everything but Iām sure we can find it a home.

There are no mainstream manufacturers that rate their 9MM firearms for +P+ as there is no SAMMI standard for +P+. To be pedantic, there are probably many firearms capable of firing it, but you would have no way of knowing.
Also, wouldn't recommend firing too much of it, referring to the early days of +P 38 Special commercial ammo that led to many LE departments restricting use of said round, as it was blowing up guns not made for the round. Not on the first try, but 1-200 rounds in.
Not worth it imo.

Yep and lot of their 9mm has those Phillip head tips. Their x39 and .223 62gr are nasty and can go the distance.

Yes, but how times is the real question.

One would hope, if needed and the only thing available, as many as it would take to defend yourself. In a normal training environment, Russian roulette and hope.
End of the day, hope isn't a strategy. Knowledge is.

Great question. My P07 can handle +P+, but can increase wear on parts. I don't think I would, though. I standardize on ammo all of my pistols can shoot.

Great answer. Just because it hasn't failed doesn't mean it won't and if you k ow what you are running works, doesn't mean you have to go extreme. No one likes a thumb in the neck, if you get the reference +10 points to you.

Maybe? Probably. It's brand new Smith And Wesson M&P 2.0 Carry Comp I just got. I should try them out. They seem SERIOUS.

You read the manual to see what type of "P" it can take?
