Can a 469 handle +P ammunition?
I inadvertently purchased +P JHPs. Will this be an issue for the 469? Of course I was buying bulk so I would have to send it back or try to sell it.

I have the single stack 3913 compact. I suspect slide weight and recoil spring weights are similar to your 469. I routinely use NATO, +P and have chronographed +P+ in mine. No issues at all, and always 100% reliable with everything. I use the factory recoil spring, but have always used a recoil buffer in this little gun since it's an aluminum frame. I have also used +P, and +P equivalent reloads, in the alloy framed 39-2s with no issues. I'd estimate that I have used thousands of rounds of NATO, +P and equivalent reloads in my 9MM pistols, revolvers and Carbines without issue, so I don't worry about using +P in any quality firearm... ymmv

Sniper, I'm too computer illiterate to know how to post pictures. The buffer is just one of those that goes on the recoil spring guide, marketed by Buffer Tech. My gun appeared to be NIB when I got it, and I installed a buffer before ever firing a shot. I was prepared to remove it if there was ever a hint of a buffer related malfunction. But, the gun has never malfunctioned in any way, at any time, with any ammo, so I've left it in...
