If you are lucky enough to own a 32 oz Beretta 92FS Brigadier, 9mm auto.....................

it will eat 115gr +P+ ammo like M&M's all day long.

The Speer actually has three velosity loads for the 9mm.
standard vel, +P velosity and the short barrel which used a 3" barrel to achive its velosity.
All three have a different code number on the boxs.

As a note on the +P+ 124gr ammo.
It was first designed with a slower powder that would burn longer,since it was intended for the 8 inch submachine gun,in its day. One reason it only gets 1170fps in a pistol with only a 4 inch barrel or less. A standard +P with correct powder for a 4" barrel is what we should use if possible, since the pressure are with in specs and easier on the weapons.
