I guess that depends on what you mean by gimmick. +P today is what standard pressure was forty years ago -- that might be gimmicky, I suppose.
But today's +P is still different from today's standard pressure.
Take Hornady, since you like them (I do, too): their 110 grain .38 Special Critical Defense rounds, standard versus +P, produce different terminal ballistics when shot from the same barrel into the same media -- so there are differences.
How do you mean "gimmick"?
