No offense to the OP but with a .45 ACP there really is no need to go +P. (especially in an Officer's ACP, it's already pushing the envelope as it is.) It's quite capable in the standard loadings. +P loads are mostly marketing crap. If you feel you need more "oomph" look into a 10mm gun. (which is also pushing the envelope) Going above factory pressures and loadings will just accelerate wear and tear on a gun. Shok buffs will help.
