I should have said don't use +p as a practice round for that G26, but anyway...
There are way too many guns to list that you shouldn't use +P ammo in, and it varies from make, model, and year. Lots of manufacturers claim it's okay to use +p ammo, yet they also say that it will void the warranty. The best bet is to read through your owners manual and see what it says, and if you have any questions just contact the manufacturer on whether or not it's okay to use it. The GLOCKS are an odd exception, as GLOCK claims it's okay, yet the reported amount of kaboom's for running +p and +p+ are astonishing. Perhaps it's do to repeated use of +p, who knows, GLOCK won't say. Either way, I'm sure there are still a lot of people out there running +P and +p+ without the slightest of problems. For self defense loads, so few rounds are fired that it won't put the stress that repeated practice rounds will. There are probably more guns that CAN handle +p than not, but do to accelerated wear, the manufacturers sides with caution. That just makes me feel as though the user should do the same. |
