+P Ammo, What is it?, and Ammo Malfunctions

[@v.german11b]

Very enlightening and informative. Thanks to Mr. Navarro and Mr. Smith for this valuable presentation.

[@andrewsilveira2571]

Thank you for the information about the difference of ammo types. I was almost going to make a big mistake and get +p+ for my old colt revolver. you prob. saved me and my gun..

[@aignerwright2181]

This video covers more than any other video of what the average person should know when it comes to +p grains and damaged ammo. I already knew a lot and learned more from watching this one therefore thanks you guys!!

[@blueskies1237]

Thanks, I learned a few things. I was not closely inspecting my new ammo.

[@hiccup4520]

You guys with the metal rock video intros are blowing it.

[@gagelaw749]

Seriously well put iv watched multiple videos and got no info or just mixed info but until now u guys did a great job thx aolt

[@devilghost]

I deleted my Facebook glad I found you guys again!

[@jmzthree]

I had so many question befor I watched this video, and I'll be damned if you gentlemen did not answer every question I had, with out me having to ask, great informative video guys tha k you!!

[@j.r.777]

I only live an hour and a half away from you guys. I’m going to have to check you all out next time I’m in Greeley.

[@mikeenriquez7859]

I run +p ammo in my g19 and cz P01 they handle it like butter.. On a side note the cz was tested and rated for +p ammo i believe it has a lifespan of over 15000 rounds with +p ammo...

[@fauxchung3189]

Oh shit! It’s the Big Boss Man!

[@chrisdavis811]

Awesome video guys!! Keep up the great work.

[@MrChrisham]

@coloradoshootingshorts so that I understand. If you constant run just +p ammo it can shorten destroy the barrel life?

[@joegun9237]

Very good information. Nice job in relating it. .

[@kylewood8327]

Great video! I carry +p+ .38 in my snubby .357 with .38 +P as my spare ammo.

[@nerrod16]

Thanks for the ammunition class! Keep it up

[@daspiper8941]

My defensive carry load in my S&W 586 is 38 Special with +P loads.

A got a grip of +p+ and honestly idk how I feel about loading it into my XD 9mm. I’m scared the guns gonna explode in my face 😂

[@ryeguymac]

Great vid, thank you guys!

[@EMERALD451]

Great info, thanks !

[@MrRUSSWILL]

Excellent info guys THANK YOU!

[@kyle47922]

Can you fire + P out of a FN FNX 45, GLOCK 21 45 ACP, ROCK ISLAND 1911, Para Ordnance 1911?

[@professorbland]

well done

[@JamesPiccone]

the faster the bullet hence+ p. expands much more rapidly therefore does not penetrate as deep so the fact that he uses + P ammo to penetrate deeper is bullshit + P ammo is used for shorter barrels guns that do not produce the velocity to expand reliably

[@chrishopkins9106]

Great vid thanks a lot for the info. And to the guy who thinks its a marketing gimmick. Its not about whether the round hurt. Its did it stop the threat. If I was carrying a 9mm I personally wouldn't go with overpressure rounds because its already a smaller more penetrating bullet Unless in the case of how he described in the video where you lose velocity in a compact barrel. However in a .45 its a much larger and slower round with less penetration. So more velocity will definitely help. This is all with the safe assumption that you are using hollow points.

[@KayakAdventures03]

Great info guys thanks!!!

[@mario90030]

Thanks great information

[@thomaspalmer7900]

I have a Smith&Wesson M&P Shield .45 and a Springfield Armory 1911 A1 .45. Is it safe to shoot +P ammo in these pistols?? Thanks

[@devilghost]

I was watching this because I have a Glock 19 with an aftermarket Double Diamond barrel and a steel guide rod and 18 lb recoil spring and was wondering if it would be safe to load +p+ only for my daily carry and a few at range. I would not be firing consistently.

[@free00to00ryhme]

i've fired dented steel case ammo before in both an AR and AK. nothing happened. also got a 7.62x39 round from winchester that was seated deeper than the rest. again, nothing happened when i fired it. i dont see much of an issue with those types of rounds unless they're severely over charged.

[@BassSniperTV]

Thumbs up i learned something new today.

[@Cubanb407]

Great video very informative!

[@karlhans6678]

So +P (and +P+) just adds more gunpowder?

[@jasonmantovani8155]

just wanted to ask you guys. I've had a custom Kimber full length I really like the 78 grain library defense 1900 fps and I crony it and got 1950 for high. That's extremely hot for the 45 it cycles perfect I ran 100 rounds not one malfunction. I do not shoot this at the rang all the time I practice run an gun with regular 230 grain ball ammo. question since I ran a hundred rounds of the 78 Liberty civil defense 45 ACP + p should I use it once in awhile when I'm training

[@Dude17768]

Great video, I was actually wondering if my Smith&Wesson M&P .45 is adequate enough to handle +P ammo. Any advice? I checked the website and it just says .45 acp, but I've seen people one yourube firing P+ ammo. New shooter here so I want to make sure I don't blow my pistol up.

[@Dude17768]

Great, thank you for the information.

How does a 7.62x39 steel case get dented like that? Must be one heck of a whack.

[@bertcochran1770]

Can you shoot 357 ammo in a 38 special ? Its a Bearman Derringer. My gun store said it would be safe.

[@AR-zm3xe]

No. It also will not fit.

[@wellingtono.2631]

[@pull-uplife6084]

Can a Glock 43X take + P

[@johngonzalez5593]

Can the model 60-7 38spacial handle +P Ammo

[@halfcaingalfabel]

Can you shoot this without damaging your gun using a GLock 19 Gen 4 and Gen 5 9mm? The Manual isnt clear on this subject

[@jorgesolis9468]

Just about any gun can handle a couple of plus p the manual should say if it's ok or just use standard pressureglocks should be fine though

[@v.german11b]

Correct. Plus P is not an "atomic bomb" round. It generates about 10% more pressure in the gun barrel than standard ammo. MOST modern handguns are made to withstand +P ammo. Except, that +P is not recommended for regular use because it increases wear and tear on the handgun. So, the +P should be use for a protection self-defense carry ammo, and not for regular target practice. The +P round increases expansion reliability on JHPs.

[@ColoradoShootingSportsGreeley]

No gun is rated for +P+. As there is no industry standard for +P+ ammunition you won't see a gun made for it because it literally means higher than +P (10% above standard). The Shield should take +P and limited use of +P+

[@gregoryadkins2213]

just to add in my SPRINGFIELD XD 9 MM Subcompact.

[@lt.e.a.sewell6555]

can someone offer some feedback regarding +P ammo and the FNH FNX 45 Tactical? I started loading my own ammo because there have been many times the store bought 45 ACP ammo stove pipes. I'm currently using 0.6 cc of HP38 with a 230 grain Hornady slug and no longer have any cycling issues.

[@rustyshackleford17]

What factory loads? Is it +P? I've seen that malfunction with people's hands riding the slide (the high grip we all use nowadays). You might also need to clean out your ejector channel, replace the ejector spring, and/or replace the extractor.

[@TaskMaster2006]

Is your Gunsmith still on board ?

[@sugarfreedaddie5995]

If I was carrying a glock 26 or any other subcompact glock,would you recommend using +p ammunition?

[@DavidLLambertmobile]

Id suggest the new novx +P 9mm, Federal hst +P, critical duty +P(now the new FBI load for Glock sidearms), corbon dpx.

[@Christopher408]

Can the s&w sd9ve handle +p ammo???

[@SuperEvilC]

christopher ishwardeen Absolutely! But +p+ in prohibited for all S&W or so they say. The SD9 is an excellent well made gun.

[@kegannff]

[@craigdamage]

I ONLY shoot "+p" ammo out of my H&K USP Compact .45. According to my chronograph I get 1000+fps with Rem 185gr+p "Golden Saber" and about 950fps with CCI "Lawman" 200gr full metal jacket. Very high velocity for a short 3.8 inch barrel. Also, my SIG P-239 9mm clocks in at 1200+fps with FEDERAL 115+P+jhp from a 3.6inch barrel. Honestly...I would rather rely on .45 and 9mm +p loads than any of the newer "solution" loads like .40,.357SIG and even 10mm. ....in ANY barrel length.

[@SilverWatcher.]

During a ammo shortage you have me inspecting all my ammo threw a hand full of 9mm away 😭

[@Zestypanda]

You could have sold it, or given it away…

[@samiam9647]

Great information! Thank you .. sub 👍🏿

[@roswellevans4598]

Is +p okay for a Colt 1911 Mrk IV/Series 70?

[@roswellevans4598]

***** Thanks, and it's just for range. Hadn't really shot it since the eighties, when I use to reload, took it to range along with some reloads and fired with no problems. Also I used the new Federal Aluminum, with no problems. It's cleaned and ready to go again. Thanks again

[@DavidLLambertmobile]

Pistol smith & swat cop; Dave lauck advises the use of standard 230gr FMJ or JHP. No +P. He says this milspec ammunition is what the .45acp was designed around.

[@keatonmiller5238]

Is it safe to shoot +p 9mm out of my Taurus G2 ?

[@v.german11b]

Yes. As long as it is manufactured by a reputable known ammo company, not from a handload. The recoil difference in the 9mm +P is minimal, not sharp.

[@jalebjaba1487]

I really don’t see any use for plus p.

[@qwedc6]

Great Infor You guys start late in the "Online thing" hope you guys grow big.

[@kennethrisner8648]

the negligible increase in power of +p or +p+ just isnt worth the risk on you or your firearm

Most modern guns are made to handle plus p and even the older ones can handle a couple

[@afroprepper485]

Good advice

[@PODSMPSG1]

does +P have more stopping power?

[@free00to00ryhme]

"stopping power" refers to kinetic energy transfer which is measured in ft pounds. the higher the foot pounds of energy, the more "stopping power" it has. higher velocities generate more foot pounds of energy. but, a lighter bullet with generate less foot pounds of energy than a heavier bullet going the same velocity. just look at the numbers. ultimately it's all about shot placement. you can have all the foot pounds of energy transfer in the world and none of it will mean anything unless you hit a vital organ.

[@v.german11b]

Plus P ammo increases reliability expansion on JHP bullets used for self-defense.

[@PODSMPSG1]

@@v.german11b oh. That's a big plus.

[@v.german11b]

@@PODSMPSG1 Correct. Plus P is poorly misunderstood with "urban tales" notions. When you get +P 9mm manufactured from a reputable, well-known ammo company, the "plus" pressure will increase the expansion realibity

I've had a 556 case explode from the bottom of the case while shooting it in my AR-15 it was on the bottom side of the case not where the primer was. maybe it could have been a dent because I ordered it online and maybe it was roughed up during the mail process?

can anyone answer these obscure +p questions? what does it actually mean for that extra 50 feet per second? is the extra penetration worth the extra recoil? will it create better expansion?
