Ruger, Glock, S&W, Beretta... When I was researching +P 9mm ammo I came to the conclusion that the Win 124+P was a really good round. When you look at the actual velocity difference between that round, a regular 124 grain and the Nato rounds, it isn't a big difference. My Beretta was made for the NATO load. The 9mm NATO is not really any harder on the gun then the 124+P. Now if you want something like the 127+P+ that is a different story (just buy a 357 sig!) Also you have to look at how much your going to shoot the +P. Miami Dade, NYPD and a few others shoot them all the time out of their Glocks and there isn't any reports of excessive wear. Most likely you'll be firing standard loads most of the time with an occasional box of +P.
