Ruger does with my KP-95DC, and so does HK with my USP 9. KelTec says some use of +P is OK in my P-11. It will wear out faster, but has a lifetime warranty.

I ask S&W about +P in my 439, and they said not approved. The guy did say it won't cause it to fly apart with the first round fired though. VERY ocassional use is fine.
