1. Concussive blast forcing the involuntary closing of the shooters eyes requiring more time to get back on target. (less shots on target)
2. Sharp recoil requiring more time to get back on target. (less shots on target)
3. The high pressure round destroys the gun.

+P+ 9mm ammo is taking all the worst parts of the .40 call and adding them to the 9mm platform. Which leads to the question why do you own a 9mm if what you really want is a high pressure round?
I'm not sure I follow your logic.

1. None of my 40's cause me to involuntarily close my eyes, at least not any more than any other of the calibers I shoot.

2. While there may be some muzzle flip in the shorter length pistols, its nothing that training can't overcome. I shoot my 40's just as well(or as bad!)as either my 9mm's or my 45's.

3. 40's are designed & built to handle the extra pressure, & I've never had one fail.YMMV!
