Can a Glock shoot +P ammo?
What kind of ammunition should I use in my GLOCK pistol? Can I use +P and +P+ ammunition? We recommend using ammunition that is manufactured and meets SAAMI or other industry standards, and while some +P ammunition meets these guidelines, +P+ usually does not.
Can my gun shoot 9mm +P?
9mm +P is 38,500 PSI. This higher pressure results in an increase in muzzle velocity, which results in various ballistic differences such as a flatter trajectory. +P should only be fired in weapons that are certified by their manufacturers to handle the increased pressure. There is no standard for +P+ ammunition.
What does the P on a Glock mean?
On the frame of an American made pistol, the right side will say “MADE IN USA, GLOCK INC SMYRNA GA”. In front of the slide lock you will see the Georgia proof mark which is the shape of the state of Georgia with a P in the center. On the left side it will be marked US instead of AUSTRIA.
Does 9mm +P have more recoil?
That being said, 9mm +P will recoil more than standard pressure 9mm – no doubt about it. How it compares to other calibers is for you to decide. To me bullet weight makes a big difference in recoil. Lighter bullets are snappier, and heavier bullet have more of a push or “thump” feel to them.
Can I shoot 9mm +P in my 9mm?

Is 9mm the same as 9mm +P?
+P denotes higher than standard pressure – for 9mm, SAAMI standard pressure is 35,000 PSI. 9mm +P is 38,500 PSI. This higher pressure results in an increase in muzzle velocity, which results in various ballistic differences such as a flatter trajectory.
What is 9mm plus P?
Overpressure ammunition, commonly designated as +P or +P+, is small arms ammunition that has been loaded to produce a higher internal pressure when fired than is standard for ammunition of its caliber (see internal ballistics), but less than the pressures generated by a proof round.
Is +P bad for gun?
38 Special, which is the parent cartridge of lower pressure from which it was derived. +P ammunition, however, is externally identical to standard ammunition of its caliber. +P ammunition is not recommended to be used in firearms of questionable quality or in a state of disrepair.
