Is +p+ 9mm safe to shoot in glocks

[bsoileau24]

I have a Gen4 Glock 17 and wondering if it safe to shoot 127 grain +p+ Winchester t series ?

 

[JBP55]

Yes, but I would not shoot them by the thousand.

 

[doc ace]

Yes.

I have the same (Winchester Ranger 127gr +p+) and shoot maybe a mag or two a month through my Glock19. They feel no more powerful than any +p I've ever shot. The casings show no signs of high pressure.

For now it is my carry round.

Today I was shooting full charge 10mm rounds from Underwood and when I was done, I fired 15 rounds of the Rangers in my Glock 19... They felt like 25acp after shooting the big 10mm rounds. Haha!

I posted this on another forum while doing some research...

9mm +P and +P+ Cartridges: Winchester & Remington Win

These rounds should have more pop than standard-pressure 9mm Parabellum cartridges, and in three cases we found that to be true - the winners shoot on par with .357 Magnums.

The 9mm Parabellum cartridge (commonly called 9mm Luger in the US) has traditionally been loaded more lightly on this side of the Atlantic than in Europe. The Sporting Arms and Ammunition Manufacturing Institute (SAAMI) has set a pressure ceiling for standard pressure 9mm Para at 35,000 pounds per square inch (psi). By contrast, NATO pressure ceiling is 42,000 psi. In-between U.S. standard pressure 9mm and NATO spec, we have two options. 9mm +P has a SAAMI pressure ceiling of 38,500 psi. There's no SAAMI spec for 9mm +P+; that's just a way of saying its pressures exceed +P standards.

Yes it's safe. A better question is if there is any reason to. The FBI's most recent testing says no.

My glocks eat anything I feed them. They are on a strict diet of "anything specific to their respective caliber"
