I'm not aware of ANY manufacturers that sell "overpressure" ammunition, regardless of whether it's called "+P" or not. Period. If you can share some examples, by all means please do.

When ammunition exceeds SAAMI specifications, ammo makers expose themselves to all manner of unpleasant civil litigation, unfavorable publicity, etc. So, if you can find even a single example of a well known manufacturer loading ammo in excees of SAAMI specs, please share.
You will see surplus 9mm ammunition being sold as +P or as "sub gun" only. I don't believe the military ammunition being sold was ever made +P, rather, as gunpowder gets old and deteriorates, combustion pressures rise. So sellers have created this illusion of a +P ammunition when in fact, what they are selling is old ammunition discarded by a military precisely because the stuff was unstable.
