A: Hi Brian! Here's what SIG says on the matter: "+P Ammo manufactured to SAAMI/CIP/NATO specs is fine to use as a defensive round or for occasional range use. Continual use of this round will make it necessary for more frequent service on the pistol."

A: Absolutely sir. Your pistol is rated for 9mm +P. That means it's designed to fire significantly more powerful ammo than 9mm NATO.

A: Yes sir. All modern SIG 9mm pistols are rated for +P. That means your pistol is designed to safely fire even more powerful ammo than 9mm NATO.

A: Thanks for reaching out! The Ruger LC9s is rated to safely fire 9mm +P ammunition. So too is the S&W CSX. That's only to say that your handguns are designed to fire even more powerful ammo than 9mm NATO. You're all set!

A: Yes sir! The FPC is rated to safely fire 9mm +P. 9mm NATO is not as powerful as 9mm +P, which is only to say that the FPC can safely handle even more powerful ammo than 9mm NATO.

A: Thanks for reaching out Craig! You should have zero issues with 9mm NATO ammo. It's slightly hotter than standard pressure 9mm, but nothing a P320 isn't designed to capably handle.

A: Thanks for reaching out J! I cannot guarantee any kind of performance out of a firearm I haven't personally tested, although the handguns you listed should function correctly with 9mm NATO ammunition.

A: Thanks for reaching out PK! Glock 9mm pistols are rated for +P ammunition. 9mm +P is loaded to a higher pressure than 9mm NATO. In other words, your Glock is designed to safely fire even more powerful ammo than 9mm NATO.

A: Thanks for reaching out Lloyd! 9mm NATO and 9mm +P are actually two different specifications. Max pressure for standard 9mm is 35,000 psi. 9mm NATO pressure is 36,500 psi. 9mm +P has a max pressure of 38,500 psi. The CPX-1 and CPX-2 are both designed to safely fire 9mm +P (although SCCY does advise against firing more than 50 rounds of 9mm +P in a single session). In other words, your SCCY 9mm handgun is designed to safely fire ammo that is even more powerful than 9mm NATO.

A: Yes sir, without question. The P320 is rated for 9mm +P. This 9mm NATO ammo is higher pressure than standard 9mm, but lower pressure than 9mm +P. In other words, your handgun is designed to safely fire ammo that's even more powerful than 9mm NATO.

A: Yes sir, without question. The XD Mod.2 is rated for 9mm +P. This 9mm NATO ammo is higher pressure than standard 9mm, but lower pressure than 9mm +P. In other words, your handgun is designed to safely fire ammo that's even more powerful than 9mm NATO.

A: Yes sir, this ammunition should treat your 92X just fine!

A: Yes sir, absolutely. The 9c is rated for 9mm +P ammunition. 9mm NATO is actually loaded to a lower pressure than 9mm +P, which means your handgun is designed to safely handle even more pressure than this ammo is capable of generating.

A: Thanks for reaching out Jeffrey! All Kimber and Glock 9mm handguns are designed to safely fire 9mm +P ammunition. The 9mm NATO is loaded to a lower chamber pressure than 9mm +P, which means your handguns are more than robust enough to safely fire this ammo.
