Robert, +P ammo is ok. From the ownwers manual - . • "Plus-P" (+P) ammunition generates pressures in excess of the pressures associated with standard ammunition. Such pressures may affect the wear characteristics and may result in the need for more frequent service. • "Plus-P-Plus" (+P+) ammunition must NOT be used in Smith & Wesson® firearms. This marking on the ammunition designates that it exceeds established industry standards, but the designation does not represent defined pressure limits and therefore such am- munition may vary significantly as to the pressures generated and could be DANGEROUS. . Stay safe & have a great day!

Hi Robert and welcome to the Buds Community. +P ammunition is not an issue. Smith and Wesson and other manufacturers baulk at +P+ due to mostly warranty reasons although most modern barrels can handle +p+ no issue. Just make sure to do more frequent inspections and cleaning intervals if you plan on running a steady diet of +P ammunition. Cheers and stay safe!

Personally, I would NOT use +P+ ammo due to the much higher pressures associated with these rounds. A light diet of +P I do not see a problem with.

Robert, yes sir, +p ammo is perfectly fine in this. As with any manufacturer they recommend limited use since it can wear parts quicker than standard velocity ammo but honestly unless you're shooting thousands of rounds doubt you'll ever notice a difference vs standard velocity ammo. Just don't shoot +p+ ammo threw it. Hope this helps.
