+ P Ammo
« on: October 26, 2010, 11:12:45 AM »
I know that the R9 is not rated for +P.  I don't want to use it and don't plan to use it.  

I'm curious, though, if anyone else has and what the results were...

I have never heard of any one admitting it but of all the other experiments tried with the pup it is likely some one fired +P.

I would guess a couple of rounds probably would not cause a catastrophic failure, but the pounding to the gun over time would shorten it's life. The difference between a +p and standard pressure round from a 2.9" barrel will not be worth the beating to the pup or the shooter. IMO

John.  You are right, for sure.  The barrel is too short to benefit from the +P round.

I now want to see one of our (rich) forum members take a R9 out, punish it to death with +P rounds, and give a detailed round-by-round report of each range session--with pictures of course... ;D

Why prove a known negative?

I would love to see videos and a detailed write up of this kind of experiment. Hell, I'd even chip in a few bucks. Seems like kind of a waste of such a nice (and expensive!) gun though.

Send me what you want to chip in and when I have collected  enough for a new pup I will run the test. ;D ;D ;D
