right,but since it will be a 380 i just wanted the best possible ammo to use in it.i have never carried anything smaller than 9mm, which im fine w/regular pressure in it.i dont put +p in any of my other guns and the 380 for sure would not get a steady diet of +p . just enough to know what to expect. then after that i would use +p for carry only.
Like the others have said, it just may not be worth it. I didn't know that about not having the SAAMI rating, that would worry me a little, too.
Personally, I love the Golden Saber, they're in my EDC 9mm. The Federal Hydrashock, I just haven't been able to get any, but I would rotate them in as part of my EDC if I could. I would be concerned about whether or not your gun is rated for +p. And then IF it is, what, exactly you're getting with no SAAMI rating. Could it still destroy the gun and possibly your hand along with it? If not though, would the resulting force from a shot be so painful that it would affect your follow-through and any follow-up shots you might have to take? Would that, then, compromise your safety?
Just things to think about. We got into a long discussion about this in one of our classes, and then someone emailed us a photo of what happened to a guy who shot +p loads with a revolver NOT rated for it. So this is an area we really try to drill into the classes now.
Sorry if I'm being nitpicky or overly concerned. I wish I had the pictures to show you from our classes, but they're only on the powerpoint, and the other instructor currently has "custody" at the moment
