I carry and shoot the Winchester 127gr. +P+ in my 17's and 26's as well. My 26's dont seem to mind it at all, and function just like the 17's, so far anyways.

I havent found the hotter ammo to be a wear issue with the 9mm's either. My one 17 has more +P+ through it, than my 31 had 357SIG through it, and the 31 was beating itself to death, specifically, the underside of the slide was peening heavily.

The 17 just past 50000+ rounds back in December, most of which were fairly warm reloads, but there were a couple of thousand +P, and +P+ in there as well, and its slide only shows some slight finish wear in the spot the 31 was peening.
