What's ".380 +P"?
Seriously.
No such SAAMI standard exists. If you're shooting something that advertises itself to be above SAAMI specs, do you have any idea what it is?
I'll sometimes shoot .38 Spl +P+ from big companies like Winchester or Federal, but that's because I know what they're aiming for in the design envelope. I'll exceed present-day .38 Special SAAMI specs when handloading, but I've been reloading for a while and I have an idea of what I'm doing (and what pressures I'm generating with my loads). But shoot some kind of loading that some company (presumably not a major one - I've not heard of a publicly traded company that sells ".380+P") advertises as exceeding industry standard specs? In my micro-compact gun?
No thanks.
