Anyone shot these before/head about 'em?

I use (and sell) Critical Duty ammo (the differences are slight, both are excellent - http://www.hornady.com/support/critical ... al-defense" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;). I only use it for defensive carry ammo. Frankly, in my SIG P226, I don't notice a difference between it and non +P ammo, but I can pretty much shoot anything and don't think at all about the recoil (ok, 10 shots real fast, one handed, with a Scandium 642 revolver with 357 magnum ammo made me "think" about it ).

Train with regular ammo, carry +P. Just make sure your gun can handle it.

Because the high pressures of +P could cause the barrel to rupture, then you'd have yourself a one-shot gun and the damage may be all to your hand. That wouldn't be fun at all.

Don't even think of using +P ammo unless you're certain it's ok with the manufacturer's design. I know some folks that just swap out barrels, but handling +P is more than just whether the breech can handle the pressures.
