Question + P ammo in M&P C

Has any one used + p in their M&P C .I have read the manual as I do with all new guns,but it only talks of not using it in older revolvers.It does say not to use + P + if iam reading it right. What are everyone take on this matter?

+p is okay as I read it, and that is what I use. +P+ probably not.

+p will be fine. You probably won't fine a manufacturer that will endorse '+p+' as there is no actual specification for it, so someone loading ammunition and calling it that could put just about anything in the cartridge.

Thanks OP for the question and other people for the responses I have been trying to find a clear answer on this myself and evrything I read is in-conclusive with a baffling area of charts percentages, but know open conclusion.

I am the first to admit I don't understand all of the science and quantitative measurement of the different rounds. But am on my way to getting a better understanding of it.

To know you guys have shot +p safely is excellent.

Thanks again!!!

+P is SAAMI spec so it will be fine. That said, even in a compact, you dont need to use +P to get excellent terminal ballistics.
