A: Absolutely! It's designed to gobble them down like Tic Tacs. Just two notes: (A) you may notice snappier recoil relative to the standard pressure stuff, and (B) the higher-pressure 9mm NATO will accelerate wear and tear on your pistol's barrel and moving parts (not terribly much, but more so relative to the standard pressure 9mm).

A: Absolutely sir. Your pistol is rated to safely fire 9mm +P. That means it's designed to fire significantly more powerful ammo than 9mm NATO. Just take care that this ammo's recoil is snappier (relative to the SAAMI standard pressure stuff), and also that it'll accelerate wear and tear on your G45's moving parts and barrel (albeit not dramatically).

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.
